Turkish hackers leak private phone numbers of top Israeli ministers

The phone numbers of a string of Israeli government officials – including PM Benjamin Netanyahu, defence minister Israel Katz and fascist ‘security’ minister Itamar ben-Gvir – have been obtained by Turkish hackers and passed to the Palestinian Observer for publication in a major embarrassment to the colonial occupation.

Worse, at least one – defence minister Israel Katz – was then pranked by the hackers, who managed to get him to answer a WhatsApp video call before recording him and telling him Israel is headed for destruction:

Katz has since disconnected the number. One local commenter referred to previous comments by an Israeli PM – apparently Katz’s boss Netanyahu – who said that no politician who got hacked by Israel’s enemies was fit to serve in a senior position:

Petulantly trying to save face, Katz ranted that he was going to destroy the ‘terrorists’:

Let them continue to call and threaten and I will continue to order the elimination of their fellow terrorist leaders.

As well as the trio mentioned above, the hackers also obtained and published the numbers of Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana, government ministers including Yariv Levin, Eli Cohen, Dudi Amsalem, Yoav Kisch, Miri Regev, Miki Zohar, Avi Dichter and Nir Barkat, and for good measure the number of former defence minister and wanted war criminal Yoav Gallant.
