Israel accuses Hezbollah, Iran of cyber attack on northern Israel hospital

The Israel National Cyber Directorate accused on Monday Iran and Hezbollah of a cyber attack last month against Ziv Medical Center in the northern Israeli city of Safed.

The hack was partially successful, the INCD said.

Hospitals in northern Israel have reportedly received more than 1500 injured soldiers and civilians as Israel and Hezbollah traded fire along the border nearly every day since the war on Gaza began on October 8.

On Monday, nearly 70% of Iran's gas stations went out of service following possible cyberattacks. Israeli media blamed the problem on an attack by a hacker group dubbed "Gonjeshke Darande" or predatory sparrow, a group reportedly linked to Israel.

A past attack on Iranian gas stations claimed by the group was attributed to Israel by two unnamed US defense officials, according to The New York Times.
