An Iranian hacker group calling itself the "Cyber Isnad Front" has claimed responsibility for a series of recent fires and explosions at industrial facilities in 'Israel', alleging that the incidents were caused by cyber operations rather than accidents.
The group released a video claiming that its cyber operations sparked fires at industrial workshops and factories, according to footage circulated by Iranian state broadcaster IRIB News on Telegram.
The video opens with a masked figure standing in front of flames and a burning 'Israeli' flag before showing satellite imagery zooming in on an industrial area in 'Israel'.
On-screen messages in Persian and Arabic attribute the fires to the group's alleged cyber activities.
The footage also includes ground-level clips showing thick smoke rising from industrial buildings, alongside emergency response teams, including firefighters and police, at the scenes.
At the end of the video, the masked spokesperson delivers a warning accompanied by Persian subtitles reading: "Still looking for the cause of the incident? No problem. Wait for the next one."
The video then fades to the group's logo.
The group's claims have not been independently verified. No technical evidence establishing a link between cyber operations and the reported fires has been made public.
