Former ’Israeli’ Spy Chief: Iran, Hezbollah’s Energy, First Cyber Target
Local Editor
The former head of the "Israeli" apartheid entity's cyber chief Ehud Schnerosen confirmed Sunday that the first cyber target in any future conflict with Iran and Hezbollah should be their energy infrastructure.
Speaking at a major cyber conference taking place in Occupied Palestine, Schnerosen referred to the energy sector as a "major pillar economy, state's cardio-vascular system."
"We should not attack water, food, healthcare on ethical grounds, and should not attack banks because of the potential butterfly effect," said Schnerosen. "The next 9/11 in cyber will be energy sector."
The Stuxnet computer virus, which is widely believed to have been developed by the United States and the occupying regime of Israel, was discovered in 2010 after it was used to attack a uranium enrichment facility at Natanz, Iran. It was the first publicly known example of a virus being used to attack industrial machinery.
Since Stuxnet's discovery in 2010, security researchers have uncovered a handful of other sophisticated pieces of computer code they believe were developed by the US and the Zionist regime in tandem to engage in espionage and warfare. These include Flame, Duqu and Gauss.
"Israeli" PM Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly told Russian President Vladimir Putin and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo over the weekend that Israel will strike against Iranian efforts to entrench itself militarily throughout Syria, and not only along the Syrian border with the occupied Palestinian territories.
Netanyahu told the weekly cabinet meeting that he spoke with both men and discussed the region, with an emphasis on Syria.
"First of all, Iran needs to withdraw from all of Syria," he said, pointing out that "Second, we will take action - and are already taking action - against efforts to establish a militarily presence by Iran and its proxies in Syria, both close to the border and deep inside Syria. We will act against these efforts anywhere in Syria."
Diplomatic officials said that Netanyahu raises the issue of Iranian activity in Syria in all his conversations with foreign leaders.
