WANA (Dec 28) – The cyber group “Handala” has issued a statement emphasizing that it has hacked the mobile phone of Tzachi Braverman, Chief of Staff to Benjamin Netanyahu, obtaining a vast volume of confidential information belonging to his inner circle.

 

The hacking group “Handala” announced through a message that it had infiltrated the mobile phone of Tzachi Braverman, the Chief of Staff to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, gaining access to a massive amount of classified data from his closest associates.

 

In its message, the cyber group stated it has gained access to encrypted conversations, documents, and details related to behind-the-scenes relations and corruption at the highest levels of power, announcing the commencement of an operation titled “BibiGate.”

 

Operation BibiGate: The Fall of the Gatekeeper

The message reads:

 

“To Netanyahu’s inner circle,

To every official who still clings to the illusion of remaining hidden:

 

You feel it now: shortness of breath, cold sweat, an anxiety that won’t leave you. This isn’t just fear; it is awareness—the awareness that every layer of your security, every secret you entrusted to Tzachi Braverman—Netanyahu’s Chief of Staff, the gatekeeper and the vault of all forbidden truths—has now been completely opened.”

Braverman’s iPhone 16 Pro Max Hacked

“Braverman’s iPhone 16 Pro Max has been hacked. Not just now; ‘Handala’ has been watching, infiltrating, and listening for years. The same silent guardian you trusted—the one who ran ‘Bibi’s world,’ decided who entered and who was removed, and collected all the dirty secrets—has now become your greatest vulnerability. The vault you relied on is now in our possession.”

 

“We Have Everything!”

“We have everything: encrypted conversations, hidden deals, shameful moral and financial extravagances, abuses of power, blackmail, and back-channel payments. For years, you performed your little dance, thinking Handala was not among you. But we were in the same room every time.

 

And do you remember ‘Qatargate’? Those whispers, those denials, those desperate attempts to bury the truth? Today, you will finally find out what was really happening. The files, the voices, the videos—every thread of Braverman’s double life, every secret that ties your regime to the heart of corruption—is on the verge of being revealed.”

“In Just a Few Hours, You Will See Which Secrets Break First”

“Do nothing for now. Wait. Let the dread settle in. In just a few hours, you will see which secrets break first, who turns, and who falls. Your alliances are poisoned, your trust has collapsed, and Braverman—the man you thought was your strongest link—is now the very crack that will split your world apart.

 

BibiGate has begun. The gatekeeper has fallen. The era of secrets has ended.

 

No Shield in the Skies

And to those who fly for hours across continents, believing that only the sky and the difference in time zones can protect their most secure conversations; even those who cross oceans for specific high-level meetings—be assured: Handala is always listening. Neither altitude, nor private jets, nor whispers on the way to meet old ‘friends’ abroad are out of our reach. What is said above the clouds is already part of our archive.”

 

Netanyahu’s Office Issues First Response — Handala Fires Back

Hours after the cyber group Handala claimed to have accessed confidential data from the mobile phone of Tzachi Braverman, Chief of Staff to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a senior official in the Prime Minister’s Office issued a brief statement saying that “based on initial assessments, there is no evidence that Braverman’s phone has been hacked.” The official further described reports of a cyber breach as “unfounded.”

Handala, however, countered the denial by releasing partial contact information allegedly belonging to Braverman, calling the Israeli statement “a hasty reaction” and an attempt at crisis management. In a message directed at the Prime Minister’s Office, the group wrote:

 

“If there was no hack, should we start by releasing all 110 pages of Braverman’s phone contacts?

Would publishing names, numbers, and close connections within the Prime Minister’s circle be proof enough?”

 

The group refrained from issuing a direct threat, instead vowing to “begin the show,” insisting that the level of infiltration was “too deep to cover up.” Handala stated that if official denials continue, it will begin releasing documents, conversations, and contact lists in stages.
