Attack On Israel’s Water Systems

Several water monitors that watch irrigation systems where not working after a recent cyber-attack hit the monitoring systems in the Jordan Valley. Specifically, water controllers for irrigating fields were damaged, as were control systems for the Galilee Sewage Corporation.

The management for both major systems have worked through the issue with the aim of bringing the systems back into full operation.

The source of the cyber attack is so far unknown, although this is not the first time that water systems in Israel have been targeted. 

Farmers in the region were warned several days prior about suspicions over an apparent planned attack. As a result of the warning some of them disconnected the remote controls for their irrigation systems and switched them to manual operation, to prevent any harm from the attack. Only those who left their systems on remote control were the ones impacted by the attack.

Israel's National Cyber Directorate had earlier warned about the increase in cyber attacks by anti-Israeli hackers throughout the month of the Islamic festival of Ramadan. 

Israeli media agencies, medical websites, government and university websites have all faced massive cyber attacks throughout the past week, including throughout the Passover holiday. These attacks are part of what is known as OPIsrael, an annual event that takes place every April with the goal of harming critical infrastructure to Israel.
