Brig. Gen. (res.) Yossi Karadi, head of Israel’s National Cyber Directorate, highlights the imminent threat of a "digital siege" where cyberattacks can incapacitate nations in moments. At a Tel Aviv University conference, Karadi emphasized that recent operations targeting civilian infrastructure mark a significant escalation in cyber warfare. He stated, “Wars will begin and end in the digital sphere,” warning that Israel, facing 3.5% of global cyberattacks, remains on the frontline of this evolving threat.
