Home Front Commander Tamir Yadai, warned Thursday that the Israeli home front may be exposed to cyber-attack during wartime. Speaking at the Municipal Innovation Conference held by the Federation of Local Authorities in Israel, the major general said, ""Looking at the civilian front, I am not sure that all factors are equally prepared and the weak links in the chain should be looked at."
"The threat posed at the State of Israel's doorstep today is greater in its magnitude than it has been from 1948 to the present," Yedidi warned. "We have to understand that the perception on the other side has also changed, as hasthe scope of the high-altitude [missile] fire, in terms of its quantity, weight and strength of its accuracy. The challenge has become multi-theater, multidimensional." He added, "This is not the same disturbing shooting that we met in Protective Edge and in the Second Lebanon War. It is a shooting that has the ability to significantly interfere in some places and even paralyze functions on the home front."
