Predatory Sparrow is distinguished most of all by its apparent interest in sending a specific geopolitical message with its attacks, says Juan Andres Guerrero-Saade, an analyst at cybersecurity firm SentinelOne who has tracked the group for years. Those messages are all variations on a theme: If you attack Israel or its allies, we have the ability to deeply disrupt your civilization.
I am not sure if this ‘specific geopitical message’ is so unique to Israel. This is what countries like China , Russia, and others are doing as well, aren’t they?
