Official Website of Israeli Airports Disrupted Amid Suspicion of Cyber Attack

Amid Israeli security alerts in preparation for a potential Iranian attack from Tehran and its agents in response to the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, Israeli media reported on Friday that the official website of the Israeli Airports Authority was disrupted. A correspondent from Al Arabiya/Al Hadath reported the closure of airspace over central Israel and mentioned a suspicion of a cyber attack that led to the disruption of Tel Aviv Airport. For its part, Israeli Channel 12 reported that the closure of Ben Gurion Airport's website in Tel Aviv was due to heavy traffic from travelers. This incident comes at a time when Israel is on high alert for potential attacks from Iran and its regional affiliates. Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has vowed to impose "the harshest punishment" on Israel in response to the assassination of the head of Hamas' political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh.
