Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - Anonymous had said in a statement on Sunday, "On April 7, 2014, we call upon our brothers and sisters to hack, deface, hijack, database leak, admin takeover, and DNS terminate the Israeli Cyberspace by any means necessary."

Addressing the Israeli regime, Anonymous also said that "further assault on the people of Gaza, who have been flooded by your sewage, terrorized by your military apparatus, and left to die at the border while waiting for medical attention will NOT be tolerated anymore."

The group, that was referring to the Israeli siege on Gaza in place since 2007, pledged not to stop until "Palestine is free."
According to Al Ray, the hackers said, “we penetrated 2064 e-mails and governmental telephones in addition to 43,000 routers and modems.”

About seven Israeli websites were brought down in the first hours of the electronic attack including a sensitive website of the occupation’s naval forces, weather websites and the website of the Israeli military ministry, they demonstrated.

Hackers also broke into Haaretz Daily Newspaper website for a short time. They were also able to disable the website of the Civil Aviation Authority of Israel.

Israeli sources said that the hackers primarily targeted the military and security websites.

The security apparatus of the Israeli occupation issued Friday instructions to all ministries warning of opening foreign e-mails, until next Thursday, to frustrate any cyber attack.

The group's first cyber attack against Israel was launched during Tel Aviv's assault on Gaza in November 2012. Some 700 websites, including Foreign Ministry and the Israeli president's official websites, were hacked at the time and the personal data of some 5,000 Israeli officials were posted online.

Anonymous also carried out similar attacks on April 7, 2013, when the websites of the Israeli parliament, ministries and other government organizations stopped functioning for some time.
