The same night that Israel attacked Iran via planes, drones, etc., Google Cloud and Cloudflare reported worldwide outages.

Pretty much any disruption of cloud services causes money/reputation/client loss for the (business) users.

If Plaintiff could prove that the outages were caused by Israel to support its attack, and that Plaintiff suffered a specific injury as a result, would Plaintiff have a viable claim for damages against Israel (or any entity that helped it to achieve the outages?

Any jurisdiction goes, any additional assumptions are allowed as well.

I do not know Israeli law, but I doubt they have waived their sovereign immunity to suit in the circumstance. This is admittedly a guess. Any answer that provides a reference would be an improvement.

Second, under common law, one cannot sue for relational pure economic loss. This is like a an airline passenger trying to sue a hacker for disabling an airline's computer systems when their travel plans are messed up.
