Serious Warning from an Israeli Official: Iran Can Paralyze Israel with a Single Click!

The American magazine Forbes, in a report addressing the cyber conflict between Iran and Israel, quoted an Israeli official warning of the dangers posed by a potential Iranian cyberattack on Israel.

According to Rokna, citing Forbes, the report—published under the title “After Iranian Attacks, Israel Issues a Dire Cyberwar Warning”—states: “We have previously heard about an apocalyptic cyber threat in a world where Chinese technology controls energy, communications, and transportation infrastructure, where Russia has charted a course away from the West, and where a hand rests on a virtual red button. But there is an even sharper cyber threat in the Middle East. This means that Iran and Israel—two of the world’s leading cyber powers—are continuing to fight a quiet, low-profile battle against each other, while media headlines focus on the front lines of the real, physical war.”

Forbes goes on to quote the Director General of Israel’s National Cyber Directorate (INCD), who last week presented a troubling forecast at a conference in Tel Aviv. According to Forbes, he had never before spoken so openly and explicitly about Iran. He said: “With one click, we could collapse.”

According to Forbes, the warning by Brigadier General Yossi Karadi concerned the methods of attack and infiltration that Iran has employed against Israel over the past six months.

Addressing the audience, he also said that the world is now moving toward the “first cyber war,” one in which not a single bullet is fired, and a country can be targeted exclusively through cyberspace, with its critical systems paralyzed and a digital siege imposed.

The Israeli official then emphasized his remarks, stating: This is not a fictional scenario; this is a real path—a picture of a digital siege in which power plants are shut down, communications are cut, transportation is paralyzed, and water resources are contaminated.
