Iran is reporting the death of Yahya Hosseini Panjakhi, who was known as the 'commander of the Iranian hacker group Khandala.'.
According to reports on Telegram channels since last night, the senior Iranian was killed in an Israeli targeted assassination during 'Roar of the Harrier.'.
Channel 12 reported that as early as the beginning of March, the IDF reported the assassination of Syed Yahya Hamidi, Deputy Minister of Intelligence for Israeli Affairs and the leader of the Iranian ministry, who over the years led terrorist plots against Jews, Western elements, and opponents of the regime in Iran and abroad.
The announcement, which was quoted in media outlets such as Iran International and the Times of Israel website, explained that Hamidi was the name of Panjaki, who, according to the IDF, was eliminated on February 28, in the opening attack that included the assassinations of senior Iranian intelligence officials.
So far there has been no Iranian confirmation, but now a channel affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards' intelligence organization has published a new photo of him and claimed that he was killed in combat. According to Channel 12, that channel has already deleted the post.
''Khandela' is a well-known Iranian hacker group, which has achieved many successes, such as hacking into the devices of senior Israeli officials, including Herzi Halevi, Yoav Galant, former Mossad head Tamir Pardo, Naftali Bennett, the former Prime Minister's chief of staff, Tzachi Braverman, and more.
