Residents in North Tel Aviv Find Threatening Message in Mailboxes

In depth

Residents in north Tel Aviv found flyers with QR codes in their mailboxes. The code led to an internet page carrying a threatening message about damage to water and electricity infrastructure. Officers from the Yarkon district conducted searches and collected findings at the various scenes.

Police and the Shin Bet have opened an investigation to determine who distributed the flyers and what their full content is. The group "Handala" took responsibility for the distribution and threatened that if fighting with Iran resumes, they would be ready to impose a heavy price on daily life.

The hacker group claimed that dozens of resistance activists operated in Tel Aviv until dawn. According to the descriptions, hundreds of flyers were placed in mailboxes in the north of the city. Police are asking the public not to scan the code and to report any suspicious flyer to the 100 hotline.
