Summary
This post analyzes internet traffic patterns in Israel and the Palestinian territories during Iran's April 13, 2024, attack. It observed a surge in traffic in Israel as people sought news and a noticeable drop in traffic in the Palestinian territories. The post also notes the absence of a coordinated large cyberattack on Israeli domains protected by Cloudflare, while highlighting ongoing DDoS attacks targeting the Government Administration sector. This contributes to the understanding of how Cloudflare's threat management capabilities are applied during significant geopolitical events and the types of attacks it monitors.
