Apr 10, 2026·1 min read

Iran-linked hacking group “Handala” claimed this morning it breached devices of former IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi and released thousands of alleged sensitive images and videos.

The group said it collected over 19,000 files, including footage of military briefings, base visits, and undisclosed meetings, including with Jordanian General Yousef Huneiti and U.S. CENTCOM commander Michael Kurilla.

Some personal materials, including family photos and ID cards, were also leaked, with no immediate response from the IDF as concerns grow over repeated cyber breaches targeting senior Israeli officials.
