On April 17, 2024, the Fatemiyoun Electronic Team, an Iran-backed group of Iraqi hackers, claimed to have hacked websites of Jordanian ministries and official government bodies, basing their operation on Jordan's involvement in the interception of Iranian missiles during the April 14 Iranian attack on Israel.
In the aftermath of the Iran attack on Israel, the Iran-backed Iraqi Hizbullah Brigades published a statement on April 15 praising the attack against Israel and condemning neighboring countries which were involved in the interception of missiles and drones over their airspace.
