[53461] Reports: IDF disabled the "Shual" system due to fear of strategic information leakage to Iran and Hezbollah

Reducing access to the alert system: The security measure that caused a stir in the north

According to reports in Yedioth Ahronoth cited in a variety of channels, including الإعلام الحربي - التغطية الإخبارية, the Home Front Command has ordered the blocking of access to the "Shual" system (designed to identify expected impact zones) for local authorities and security officials in northern settlements. The measure was taken due to a "grave concern of sensitive information leakage" into the hands of Iran and Hezbollah, which could assist these organizations in improving the accuracy of fire toward the Israeli home front, as reported by شبكة قدس الإخبارية.

The system, which distinguishes between interception operations and actual impacts and provides data on the direction and size of barrages, is considered a sensitive intelligence asset. According to reports in وكالة شهاب | عاجل, security sources express concern that this data is monitored by Iranian elements to optimize their attack capabilities.

Conversely, the decision has drawn sharp criticism at the local level. The head of the Upper Galilee Regional Council attacked the move and defined it as "stalling," claiming that "Hezbollah knows very well where it is firing," as reported by راصد العدو and by אם רדיו אל-קודס. Channels identified with the military media of the "Resistance" emphasized the apparent contradiction between the army's desire to maintain secrecy and the reality on the ground where fire continues to reach its targets.
