Israel’s cyber protection agency declared a state of emergency Monday as the Israeli government websites went down in an apparent online attack.

 

Iran PressMiddle East: A source with the Israeli regime army said the cyber attack was the largest ever carried out against Israel, according to the newspaper Haaretz.

The cyber assault took down websites for the Israeli regime interior, health, justice, and welfare ministries, as well as that of the prime minister’s office. All are pages on Israel’s gov.il domain.

As of Monday night Jerusalem al-Quds time, some access had reportedly been restored.

Israeli officials suspected the attack was the work of another country but told Haaretz they could not yet determine who was responsible.

The officials said they were checking with Israeli power and water companies to see if they had been affected, though Israel’s utility websites appeared to be functioning normally.
