Group backed by the Islamic Republic of Iran hacked into PA Water Facility
Over the weekend, a Pennsylvania water facility was hacked by a group backed by the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Aliquippa Municipal Water Authority was the victim of the hacking group known as Cyber Av3ngers. which successfully took control of the station setting off alarms, according to Matthew Mottes, Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Municipal Water Authority.
CyberAv3ngers has claimed responsibility for a series of global cyber assaults, including against Israel. On their official X page, the group posted several photographs of the cyber-attack against the water treatment stations in Netanya, Israel, following the Oct. 7 massacre and Israel’s invasion of the Gaza Strip (below).
The Pennsylvania station is in Aliquippa and manages pressure for Raccoon and Potter Townships. Mottes told KDKA-TV that there is no identified risk to the water supply.
“The hacked system operated on a Unitronics platform, with Mottes noting that parts of the software are from Israel. Following the breach, the system has been shut down, and the Pennsylvania State Police are conducting a thorough criminal investigation at the booster station” reports Foreign Desk News.
“Since the Oct. 7 massacre, the Islamic Republic of Iran has called on its proxies in the Middle East and Hamas supporters throughout the international world to rally behind the terror movement against Israel, vowing to wipe the Jewish state from the face of the earth” adds Foreign Desk News.

Following the release of a Hamas propaganda video with footage of Israeli-American soldier Edan Alexander, 20, alive after over 420 days in captivity, as well as the IDF having confirmed the death of American-Israeli Captain Omer Neutra who was abducted during the October 7th attack, Trump is not mincing words.
United States President-elect Donald Trump declared Monday that there will be “hell to pay” if the hostages held by Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists in Gaza are not freed before his inauguration on January 20. The message marked the first time since November’s election that the former chief executive commented on the situation facing captured Israeli citizens in the coastal enclave, reports Foreign Desk News.
Writing on his Truth Social account, the former president warned the captors, “Please let this TRUTH serve to represent that if the hostages are not released prior to January 20, 2025, the date that I proudly assume Office as President of the United States, there will be ALL HELL TO PAY in the Middle East, and for those in charge who perpetrated these atrocities against Humanity. Those responsible will be hit harder than anybody has been hit in the long and storied History of the United States of America. RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW!”
During the October 7, 2023, massacre in southern Israel, the invaders kidnapped 251 individuals after killing almost 1,200 civilians and responding security forces.
Following negotiations and rescue operations led by the Israeli military over the past year, authorities in Jerusalem estimate about 60 of the 95 remaining abductees are still alive, adds FDN.
