Many Israeli websites were hit by a coordinated cyber attack Thursday, with the home pages replaced by images of the country's commercial capital Tel Aviv in flames.
It did not state the number of pages targeted but Israeli media reported it was more than 1,000, including those of major firms.
The attack came a day before Israelis celebrate Jerusalem Day - signifying the country's capture of the eastern part of the disputed city in 1967.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu replied Wednesday evening, saying Khamenei "Should know that any regime that threatens Israel with extermination will find itself in similar danger".
The attack on Israeli websites came days after a cyber attack on computer systems at an Iranian port was blamed on Israel.
