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."
