A hacker collective calling itself the Cyber Support Front has released a video claiming responsibility for breaching the systems of MAYA, an Israeli company that develops mechanical and electronic devices for civil, medical, and defense industries.

According to a report by Iran’s Tasnim news agency, the group alleges it obtained classified data concerning several Israeli weapons systems, including the Iron Beam laser-based air defense system—one of the country’s most publicized military technologies.

The video, posted on the group’s Telegram channel, appears to display documents, photographs, and blueprints purportedly related to advanced defense projects. Among the materials shown are details of the SkyLark surveillance drone, the Spyder air-defense system, and the Ice Breaker stealth cruise missile. The footage also references files describing joint research and development efforts between Israel and defense industries in Australia and several European nations.

The Cyber Support Front—also known by its Arabic name al-Jabha al-Isnaad al-Saybrania—claimed the data trove includes information on additional projects such as the upgraded M-113 armored personnel carrier, Hermes-900 UAV storage facilities, 3D printing technologies, and satellite systems produced by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems.

The group said its goal was to expose what it described as “the extent of the Israeli regime’s secretive weapons programs and its foreign partnerships.” The video, originally released in Arabic, was later translated into other languages, including Farsi, using artificial intelligence.

This marks the second time the Cyber Support Front has claimed responsibility for infiltrating Israeli defense systems. Several weeks ago, the group released a similar video asserting it had obtained new military research and development plans from Israeli sources.
