☆ Cyberattacks Intensify on Israeli, Palestinian Groups
  + stars: | 2023-10-20 | by ( ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
The rise in cyberattacks on Israeli human-rights organization B'Tselem has reached levels similar to activity seen during the conflict between Israel and Hamas in 2014, said Roy Yellin, the organization's director of public outreach. The personal mobile phone number of B'Tselem’s executive director was published online, prompting hundreds of calls and text messages, Yellin said. Israeli nonprofit United Hatzalah, which provides volunteer emergency medical services, posted on X that it had blocked access to its donation site from certain countries because of “a large number of cyber attacks against us.” U.K.-based Medical Aid for Palestinians, which provides emergency relief to people in Gaza, said on X that a cyberattack on its website was “an apparent attempt to prevent people donating towards our medical relief efforts.”

☆ Hackers hit aid groups responding to Israel and Gaza crisis

Jerusalem-based nonprofit United Hatzalah, which provides emergency medical services, said its website was struck by distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks that temporarily slowed its ability to receive donations. DDoS is a low-level and typically unsophisticated attack designed to overwhelm a website with artificial traffic, often causing it to crash. The disruptions to the United Hatzalah website did not lead to loss of data or donations, said Jeremy Cole, a spokesperson for the group. Another website impersonating United Hatzalah that had sprung up in the last few days seeking donations had been taken down, Cole said.

With transportation hurdles, some organizations are using private planes to send supplies to civilians and organizations inside Israel, including blankets, neck warmers and tactical gloves. "Word has spread like wildfire," said Eytan Weisz, who is part of a volunteer group from Toronto organizing a plane of supplies. The UJA Federation of Greater Toronto has raised C$40 million since Saturday from 4,000 families and businesses, UJA Chief Development Officer Sara Lefton told Reuters. "The amount of unconditional help I got from the Jewish community is heart-warming," he said.

The first explosion occurred at a bus station near the entrance to Jerusalem at 7:06 a.m., injuring at least 11 people, including the teen who later died, the spokesperson said. After a second explosion almost half an hour later at the city’s Ramot junction, at 7:30 a.m., three people were evacuated with minor injuries, police added. Mostafa Alkharouf/Anadolu Agency/Getty ImagesThe site of an explosion is pictured near a bus station at the Givat Sha'ul Junction, near the exit from the city of Jerusalem. Two paramedics from Magen David Adom, Israel’s Red Cross affiliate, said when they arrived at the bus station they found two seriously injured people lying on the ground. “We were at the MDA station by the entrance to the city when we heard a large explosion,” they said.
