Iran used US servers in cyberattack on Israeli water facilities - report
Is this the kind of war we should expect from China, rather than an open crash of armies?
[Jpost] The attack took place at the end of April and attacked several Israeli Water Authority facilities.

Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
was responsible for a widespread cyberattack on Israeli water and sewage facilities last month, Fox News reported on Thursday. According to the report, Iran used American servers to hack into the facilities.

Foreign correspondent for Fox News Trey Yingst wrote on Twitter that, "A bigwig at the US Department of Energy declined to comment on any specifics related to an ’ongoing investigation.’ The official reiterated that the DOE routinely gathers and shares info with private sector partners to protect the US and it’s allies from cyberattacks."

The attack took place at the end of April and affected several Israeli Water Authority facilities.

The head of the Water Authority’s security department, Daniel Lacker, told head of the cyber department Avi Azar that, "We have received a number of reports regarding a cyberattack on the... systems. No damage was reported during the incident," Ynet reported.

Iran is often accused of attempting cyberattacks against Israel.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the issue at last year’s CyberTech conference in Tel Aviv, saying that "Iran is attacking Israel on a daily basis. We monitor it and prevent it every day."

He added: "They are threatening in other ways. What is important is that every country can be attacked and each country needs the combination of defense and attack capabilities — and Israel has such ability."

#1 Is this the kind of war we should expect from China[et. al.], rather than an open crash of armies?

Yes. A two billion member army is harder to transport to these shores than an IP payload.
