Hackers hijack emergency sirens in kindergartens across Israel

A pro-Palestinian hacking group known as Handala reportedly breached an Israeli panic-button vendor (Maagar-Tec), triggering emergency devices in roughly 20 kindergartens to play rocket sirens and songs, claimed to have wiped the company’s systems, launched a mass SMS campaign to intimidate citizens, and alleged theft of four terabytes of data from the National Security Ministry; Israeli authorities have launched an investigation and some claims remain unverified.
