According to Radware’s Director of Threat Intelligence, Pascal Geenens, between June 21 and 22, 2025, hacktivist-led DDoS claims surged by 800%. This dramatic increase was paralleled by a 900% drop in attacks against Israel, suggesting a deliberate redirection of focus away from Israel and toward its most prominent ally.
