Sat Nov 19, 2011 12:23PM

A report says Israel intends to use electronic warfare to shut down Iranian civilian infrastructure in the event of a strike against the Islamic Republic's nuclear facilities.

The Daily Beast reported on Thursday that a possible Israeli attack would go as far as targeting Iran's Internet and cell phone networks, its electrical grid as well as emergency frequencies for the country's police and fire departments.

The news website quoted "current and former US intelligence officials" and that the electronic warfare would be carried out by remote-controlled Israeli Air Force drones, which can fly for 20 hours non-stop before they come back to points of take-off. There are even some unmanned Israeli aerial vehicles that can fly overhead for 45 hours non-stop.

The Daily Beast said that Israel has developed weapons that could imitate a maintenance cell phone signal that commands a cell network to go inactive, "effectively stopping transmissions."

It also claimed that two years ago US security officials allegedly located several power grids inside Iran that were connected to the Internet, and were susceptible to cyber attacks such as the Stutnex virus.

Zitat:Israel announces new 'depth' command for long-range military operations

New command to be headed by former chief of elite special forces squad Sayeret Matakl; unit to supervise operations away from Israel's borders.

The Israel Defense Forces is forming a command to supervise "depth" operations, actions undertaken by the military far from Israel's borders, the army announced on Thursday. Onoing concerns with Iran's contentious nuclear program serve as the backdrop for the IDF's annoucement, with both U.S. and Israeli officials noting that, while diplomatic efforts were the preferred tool with attempting to thwart Iran's nuclear ambitions, no options were "off the table."

On Wednesday, diplomatic sources said that Iran could soon launch sensitive atomic activities in an underground facility deep inside a mountain, a development likely to add to tension between Tehran and the West.

Iranian experts have carried out the necessary preparations at Fordow near the holy city of Qom, paving the way for the Islamic state to begin higher-grade uranium enrichment at the site on a former military base.
