The Jerusalem Post said Monday that its website had been hacked in an apparent threat against the nation of Israel by pro-Iranian hackers.
Instead of displaying normal content on the site’s main news page, for a time on Monday, the website reportedly displayed an illustrated image invoking the late Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, who was killed in a U.S. drone strike on January 3, 2020.
“We are aware of the apparent hacking of our website, alongside a direct threat (to) Israel,” tweeted the outlet on Monday.
The illustration showed what looked like a missile blasting out of a red ring on a hand in the shape of a fist. The ring was reportedly the same style as a distinctive one worn by Soleimani. Beside the image was text that read “We are close to you where you do not think about it” in Hebrew and English.
Former IDF cyber chief Brig. Gen. (res.) Yaron Rosen said the hack was part of an influence operation by pro-Iranian hackers timed to impact the ongoing nuclear talks taking place in Vienna, Austria.
“We are in the midst of nuclear discussions. Both sides are probably doing the best they can with whoever they can to influence things – this is part of influence operations,” said Rosen.

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
