Fear of Iranian Breach: IDF Restricts Access to "Shoal" Missile Tracking System

 In a 2026 security development, Israel's Home Front Command restricted access to the "Shoal" civilian system, used for tracking missile impacts, due to fears of intelligence leaks to Iran. This 2026 measure affects northern local authorities and reservists who rely on the platform to analyze trajectories of rockets fired from Lebanon. The system, designed to manage wartime emergencies, differentiates between interceptions and strikes in open areas. By 2026, the military aims to prevent cyber-vulnerabilities that could expose strategic data. Consequently, administrative permissions for local liaison units have been significantly reduced to safeguard national security protocols.
