Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Iran and its allies Hamas as well as Lebanese Hezbollah of carrying out "non-stop" cyber attacks on major computer systems in his country.

"In the past few months, we have identified a significant increase in the scope of cyber attacks by Iran. These attacks are carried out either directly or through Hamas and Hezbollah", Netanyahu said in a conference on cyber warfare in Tel Aviv.

"Vital systems had been targeted”, he added without giving further details.
