Gaza: In protest against Israel’s incurable airstrikes on the Gaza strip, an online group of hackers ‘Anonymous’ claimed on Saturday to have taken down dozens of websites of Israeli state agencies and a leading bank.
The hackers said that they had either dented or fully erased the records of over 650 private and public institutions, including the Bank of Jerusalem, in an operation, what they name it “OpIsrael.”
“Deleting the database of the Bank of Jerusalem, one of Israel’s main finance houses was the biggest success,” they consider.
The group also claimed that they had briefly hacked the foreign ministry website in protest over an alleged Israeli threat to cut the Gaza Strip’s internet communications.
“For far too long, Anonymous has stood by with the rest of the world and watched in despair the barbaric, brutal and despicable treatment of the Palestinian people in the so called ‘Occupied Territories’ by the Israel Defence Force,” Anonymous said in a statement.
“But when the government of Israel publicly threatened to sever all Internet and other telecommunications into and out of Gaza they crossed a line in the sand.”
The group threatened Israel with the “unbridled wrath of Anonymous” if it went ahead with the internet cable cut.
