Iranian hacker group Staff of Moses appears to have hacked municipal security cameras overlooking one of Wednesday’s terror attacks in Jerusalem that killed a 16-year-old boy, and published the footage taken online.

The footage, made up of various clips, were published Thursday on the messaging app Telegram and showed the moment of the blast, as well as resulting chaos in the aftermath and the emergency response.

One of the clips was accompanied by a message in Hebrew that read: “For a long time we had control over all of your activities – step by step, moment by moment.”

Wednesday’s attacks claimed the life of 16-year-old Aryeh Shtsupak, a Canadian yeshiva student who lived in Jerusalem, and injured over 20 others.

The Iran-linked hacktivist group has previously made many threats against Israel. Earlier this year the group made headlines for publishing materials gathered from a phone belonging to the Mossad chief’s wife, and for distributing photographs taken that were allegedly taken at Defence Minister Benny Gantz’s home.

The group has also published the details of hundreds of thousands of Israelis in the past, including many soldiers in the IDF, as well as sensitive commercial documents.

Threatening messages have often accompanied the leaks. One message read: “We know all of your decisions and we will hit you where you don’t think. We have secret documents from the Defence Ministry and of Benny Gantz. We have news, reports, operational maps and information about your units and forces.

“We will publish this information to inform the whole world of your crimes.”

The group has also claimed to have high-quality photos of Israel taken via satellites.

The first of Wednesday’s coordinated attacks took place just after seven in the morning, near a bus station at the Givat Sha’ul Junction on the outskirts of Jerusalem. A second explosion occurred just half an hour later near Ramot Junction in Jerusalem. A further bomb, on the light rail track near Jerusalem Central Bus Station, was defused late Wednesday night.

Speaking at the funeral of his son on Thursday, Aryeh Shtsupak’s father said: “I just want to say bye to my son Aryeh… and to apologise to him for what I couldn’t do… [it’s important] to appreciate every minute with a child and as a family.”
