Official summary of the law (Knesset)

On 26 December 2023, the Law on Dealing with Severe Cyber Attacks in the Digital Services and Storage Services Sector (Temporary Provision – Swords of Iron) (Amendment), 2024, was published as a temporary provision. The Law authorizes an authorized director from the Israel Security Agency, the Cyber Array or Military Intelligence's C4I and Cyber Defense Directorate to determine that a cyber attack occurring or about to occur against a provider of storage services or digital services is a severe cyber attack, if the director believes there is a real concern that it will harm state security, public security, or the continuity of essential supplies and services. Such a determination will be made subject to the following conditions: the attack occurred during the Swords of Iron war; the attack has an actual impact that is not limited to the attacked provider; and the attack is a severe cyber attack considering its characteristics. Where a cyber attack is determined to be severe, the Law establishes a course of action for detecting, preventing or containing the attack as soon as possible. In addition, provisions were established regarding the duty of confidentiality and restrictions on the use of information, as well as a duty to report to the Attorney General and to the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee. Under Amendment No. 2, the validity period of the temporary provision was extended until 17 November 2025.
