IDF admits to using cyber space to attack enemies

By YAAKOV KATZ
The IDF uses cyber space to gather intelligence, attack enemies and conduct various military operations, the military revealed on Sunday in a posting on its official website.
The rare announcement was the first time the IDF officially admitted it engages in cyberwarfare for offensive purposes. It also came a week after a new virus was discovered to have attacked Iran, widely presumed to have been developed by Israel.

According to the document, cyber space is viewed in the IDF as another battlefield like land, sea and the air.
