The “Open Hands” Telegram channel is vowing to release “new” information on Mossad chief David Barnea, after publishing a video yesterday with his personal documents and photos.
“In response to Israeli Prime Minister’s Office: You’ve said that the material is not new; wait for the next episode to find out whether we are updated or not!” the hackers say in a message written in Hebrew, English, and Arabic.
According to Hebrew-language media reports, an old phone belonging to Barnea’s wife was hacked by the group, which has been ostensibly tied to Iran.
Channel 13 news reports there was no sensitive information on the phone that could potentially harm state security.
