The Israel Police and Shin Bet security agency have launched an investigation into threatening flyers found in the mailboxes of residents in northern Tel Aviv on Monday. The leaflets contain QR codes linking to a website run by Handala, an Iran-linked hacker group, which warns that it will target Israel’s oil refineries, power stations and water desalination plants if the Israeli government attacks Iranian energy infrastructure.
Handala claims it distributed hundreds of thousands of the warnings across the city overnight, stating that the campaign serves as a final warning to prevent further aggression against the energy plants of Iran and its allies. Officers from the Yarkon district have collected the flyers as evidence, while authorities have asked residents to report any further findings to an emergency hotline.
