Israeli citizens received threatening text messages purportedly from an Iranian-backed hacking team warning that it has hijacked the nation’s radar systems, stating: “You have only a few hours to fix the systems.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The so-called Handala <\/span>threat group<\/a><\/span> alleged in a message on Telegram that it sent 500,000 text message warnings to Israeli citizens, which contains anti-Israeli government rhetoric, according to <\/span>a report in The Jerusalem Times<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

“People will pay for the crimes and foolishness of your leaders. There is no doubt that your leaders will regret these foolish ventures. Evacuate the cities; perhaps you will see less damage!” the message reads. “Do not hesitate and do not sleep; the chance to escape is less than ten seconds, and perhaps your city will be chosen.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Israeli officials had not verified the group’s claims, which came amid <\/span>Iran’s drone and missile attacks on Israel<\/a><\/span> over the weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n
