Israeli hackers retaliate against Anti-Israel Anons

A website organizing online attacks against Israeli websites has been breached. Still, the hacktivists who started the tangle successfully disrupted the site of the country’s education ministry.

“The website, OpIsrael.com, which was run by the Anonghost hacking group to help coordinate an online attack on Israel, was taken over by an Israeli hacker calling himself EhIsR. Under the heading ‘A few forgotten facts,’ the hacker posted content such as ‘Israel became a nation in 1312 BCE, 2,000 years before the rise of Islam.’”

Earlier, hackers self-dubbed the “Israeli Elite” broke into websites in Pakistan and installed images of IDF soldiers and the Israeli flag.

Meanwhile, the anti-Israel hackers claimed to have broken into hundreds of Israeli Facebook accounts and disabled other sites.

The Anonymous group, through its official OpIsrael Twitter account, sent a personal message to members of Israel's government: ‘To the government of Israel: Welcome to the Hackintifada #FreePalestine.’

“These statements follow an ongoing threat from Internet hackers belonging to the Anonymous group to launch a massive cyber-attack on Israel Sunday, which is Holocaust Memorial Day.”
