Syrian Electronic Army Claims to Have Hacked Israeli Critical Infrastructure Systems (Updated)

Update. The Syrian Electronic Army says it has nothing to do with the emails. Read the initial story below.
The Syrian Electronic Army is best known for hijacking the social media accounts and websites of news organizations they accuse of spreading false news about the situation in Syria. However, now they claim to have done much more than just hack Twitter accounts.
In an email sent to Softpedia, the hackers claim to have penetrated one of Israel’s main critical infrastructure systems.

“We would like to announce that in response to the unfair and illegal attacks, taken place by Israel on DATE, SEA has penetrated one of the main infrastructural systems (SCADA) in Haifa and managed to gain access to some sensitive data. Also SEA is now able to cause irrecoverable damages to the Israeli's infrastructural systems,” the hackers said.
