Cyberattacks could come into play as Israel weighs response to Iranian attack

Why it matters: Iran's drone and missile attack against Israel on Saturday brought the two nations into unprecedented territory. The big picture: Israel and Iran have long had a fraught relationship, filled with covert operations and destructive cyberattacks. Iranian government hackers deployed malware wipers against Albania in 2022. Yes, but: The Israel National Cyber Directorate told Politico it didn't see any "abnormal online activity" during the missile attack.
