According to the report, Iranian operatives have exploited recurring vulnerabilities in the electronic security systems of these cameras—weaknesses that have surfaced in similar international conflicts before. It is believed that these cyberattacks form part of a broader Iranian strategy to integrate cyber warfare with conventional military operations, marking a notable shift in the nature of the confrontation between the two sides.

In this context, a prominent former Israeli cybersecurity official issued a public warning, urging residents to take immediate measures to protect their own systems. Rafael Franco—who served as Deputy Director General of Israel’s National Cybersecurity Authority and now heads a private information‑security firm—stated that Iranian intrusion attempts have escalated sharply in recent days. He explained that Tehran is seeking access to private camera feeds to observe and analyze strike outcomes in real time.

Franco emphasized that these attacks are not random probes but appear to be part of a systematic plan aimed at exploiting Israel’s technological exposure amid military escalation. He advised residents to power down nonessential cameras immediately or at the very least change their passwords, stressing that these Iranian cyber operations constitute a direct threat to Israel’s national security, especially as they run in parallel with field operations.

This development raises questions about the readiness of Israel’s electronic infrastructure to withstand such threats, given the widening scope of unconventional warfare and its close intertwining with active combat zones.
