I-Israel Defence Forces (IDF) yathi iyekile ukuzama ukuhlaselwa kwe-cyber eqaliswe yi-Hamas ngempelaveki kunye nokuhlaselwa komoya wokuziphindezela kwisakhiwo saseGaza apho umkhosi uthe uhlaselo lwedijithali lwenziwa. Kukholelwa ukuba eli lixesha lokuqala embalini ukuba umkhosi uphendule kuhlaselo lwe-cyber ngogonyamelo lwasemzimbeni ngexesha lokwenyani.
Kule mpelaveki kuphinde kwaqhambuka udushe, apho iHamas idubule iirokethi ezingaphezu kwama-600 kwaSirayeli ngeentsuku ezintathu kwaye i-IDF yaqalisa ugwayimbo lwayo kumakhulu ezinto ebizichaza njengeenjongo zomkhosi. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, ubuncinci be-27 basePalestine kunye nabemi abane bakwa-Israeli babulewe kwaye ngaphezulu kwekhulu benzakele. Ukungavisisani phakathi kwe-Israel kunye ne-Hamas kunyukile kulo nyaka uphelileyo, kunye noqhanqalazo kunye nobundlobongela ngamaxesha athile.
Ngexesha lokulwa ngoMgqibelo, i-IDF yathi i-Hamas iqalise i-cyberattack ngokumelene no-Israyeli. Eyona njongo yolu hlaselo ayizange ixelwe, kodwa iThe Times of Israel ithi abahlaseli bafuna ukwenzakalisa umgangatho wobomi babemi bakwaSirayeli. Kwakhona kwachaza ukuba uhlaselo aluzange lube nzima kwaye lwayekiswa ngokukhawuleza.
Isithethi somkhosi wase-Israel sithe: "I-Hamas ayisenawo amandla e-cyber emva kohlaselo lwethu lomoya." I-IDF ikhuphe ividiyo ebonisa uhlaselo lwesakhiwo ekutyholwa ukuba lwenziwa kuso:
Esi siganeko siphawule okokuqala umkhosi uphendule kwi-cyberattack ngamandla ngelixa idabi liqhubeka. I-United States yahlasela ilungu le-ISIS ngo-2015 emva kokuba ithumele ukurekhoda kwemikhosi yaseMelika kwi-intanethi, kodwa uhlaselo aluzange lwenzeke ngexesha lokwenyani. Impendulo ye-Israel kwi-Hamas ibonisa okokuqala ukuba ilizwe liphendule ngokukhawuleza ngomkhosi wezempi kwi-cyberattack ngexesha lesigaba esisebenzayo songquzulwano.
Uhlaselo luphakamisa imibuzo enzulu malunga nesiganeko kunye nokubaluleka kwaso kwixesha elizayo. Umthetho-siseko jikelele wemfazwe kunye nomthetho wobuntu wamazwe ngamazwe uyalela ukuba uhlaselo lokuziphindezela kufuneka lulingane. Akukho bani unengqondo ephilileyo onokuvuma ukuba ugwayimbo lwenyukliya kwikomkhulu luyimpendulo eyaneleyo yokufa kwejoni elinye kumlo womda. Ukuqwalasela ukuba i-IDF yavuma ukuba yayitshitshise i-cyberattack ngaphambi kokuhlasela kwe-airstrike, ngaba okokugqibela kwakufanelekile? Nokuba yeyiphi na indlela, olu luphawu oluxhalabisayo lokuvela kwemfazwe yanamhlanje.
