Shocking! Uganda Hit By Powerful Cyber Attacks After Muhoozi’s Iran-Israel Tweet

By Swift Reporter

Uganda’s Chief of Defence Forces, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has revealed that the country recently faced a wave of cyber attacks, which he links to his public support for Israel amid escalating tensions with Iran.

In a statement shared on social media, Gen. Muhoozi said Uganda experienced “numerous cyber attacks” shortly after his remarks backing Israel, although he did not provide specific details about the incidents.

“After my tweets the other day in support of Israel, our country experienced numerous cyber attacks,” he stated. “We shall investigate all of them and take strong action against those who sent and supported those attacks.”

He did not clarify which institutions were targeted or whether any critical infrastructure, including military systems, was affected.

The claims come just days after the army chief drew global attention with a series of posts expressing firm support for Israel in the ongoing Middle East tensions. In one widely circulated message, he warned that “any talk of destroying or defeating Israel” could draw Uganda into the conflict on Israel’s side.

Gen. Muhoozi also suggested that Uganda could extend military support if necessary, citing longstanding ties between the two nations, including security cooperation and historical connections such as the Entebbe raid.

His remarks quickly went viral, sparking widespread debate both locally and internationally. Analysts noted that while Uganda maintains close relations with Israel, the statements appeared to reflect personal views rather than official government policy.

The comments have drawn mixed reactions, with some observers interpreting them as symbolic political messaging, while others raised concerns about their potential diplomatic implications.

Gen. Muhoozi is known for his outspoken presence on social media, where his remarks on regional and global issues have previously triggered public debate and occasional diplomatic unease.
