An Internet traffic analysis during Iran's April 13, 2024, attack on Israel

On April 13, 2024, Iran launched a coordinated retaliatory attack on Israel, resulting in shifts in Internet traffic for both countries. Following the attack, Israeli internet traffic surged by 75% as people sought news updates, predominantly through mobile devices. In contrast, Palestinian territories experienced a noticeable drop in traffic during the same period. Traffic patterns in Iran also showed a decline, which was attributed to the conclusion of Ramadan. Despite these shifts, no significant changes have been observed in application layer attacks targeting Israel.
