Hacking group Anonymous claims it breached the IDF and accessed hundreds of thousands of documents (Image: GETTY )
A group of pro-Palestine hackers have claimed they hacked Israel's Defence Force (IDF), unearthing a trove of top secret documents from their computers.
Anonymous, the hacker organisation, said it now has 20 gigabytes of data and nearly a quarter of a million documents linked to the Israeli military after the breach.
The documents include PDFs, Word files, PowerPoint presentations and more, the hackers claimed in a video.
But according to IDF security assessments, the chance a breach really took place is minimal.
Instead, the IDF has argued the hackers are deploying so-called "psychological warfare".
That's because the IDF's computer system is highly secure, the security agency argues.
Files may have been taken from civilian computers instead in a major breaking of the law, but the likelihood IDF computers were breached is unlikely, it claims.
It comes months after Anonymous claimed to hack Israel's Ministry of Justice.
The group alleged that it obtained a staggering 8 million data files reaching up to 300 gigabytes.
