Anonymous anounced a cyberattack on israeli websites,
and so they did, starting this night
In the fight for Palestinian human rights, Anonymous has launched the largest cyber offensive in Internet history: Operation Israel (#OpIsrael). The virtual campaign is billed as "the largest Internet battle in the history of mankind" that will "wipe Israel off the map of the Internet," and is being launched by hacktivists affiliated with the international collective known as Anonymous in order to protest Israeli policies in Gaza and the West Bank.
On April 6, hacktivists associated with Operation Israel released a statement via YouTube announcing the beginning of Operation Israel . The following is an excerpt from that video:
To the government of Israel: You have NOT stopped your endless human right violations. You have NOT stopped illegal settlements. You have NOT respected the ceasefire. You have shown that you do NOT respect international law. This is why that on April 7, elite cyber-squadrons from around the world have decided to unite in solidarity with the Palestinian people against Israel as one entity to disrupt and erase Israel from cyberspace.
We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
To the Government of Israel, it is too late to EXPECT US.
On Twitter, Operation Israel is being coordinated via #OpIsrael @Op_Israel, and can be followed via the following Twitter hashtags: #OpIsrael |#FreePalestine | #AntiZionist | #Anonymous.
At the time of publication, multiple reports of hacks, defacements, leaks, and other forms of cyber protest are flooding in from around the web. Israeli websites affected by the action could very well number into the thousands before all is said and done.
Updates to this quickly developing story will be issued as information becomes available.

Published Sunday, April 7, 2013
Dozens of Israeli websites were hacked in early morning hours Sunday, including pages of the prime minister's office and the Tel Aviv stock exchange, in the largest cyber offensive on the Jewish state yet.
The operation is being dubbed #OpIsrael and is said to be led by the hackers group, Anonymous, which says it aims to wage hacking operations against human rights violators. Several official websites were covered in photos of long-time hunger striker Samer Issawi, deceased Palestinian prisoner Maysara Abu Hamdiyeh, and slain Hezbollah commander Imad Mughniyeh.
The names and email addresses of some 1,500 Mossad agents have also reportedly been made public in a Google Doc.
The organizers said Sunday would be "the largest Internet battle in the history of mankind" that would eventually "wipe Israel off the map of the Internet" on April 7, Holocaust Memorial Day. Over 19,000 Israeli Facebook pages are reportedly down. Below is an Anonymous video warning of Sunday's offensive:
Israel has staged incursions into some West Bank towns, such as Hebron, in recent hours, raiding houses and confiscating computers, according pan-Arab network Al-Mayadeen and several activists.
Anonymous first waged a cyber-attack on Israel in November 2012 during Israel's vicious eight day assault on the Gaza Strip, targeting 700 websites.
The following tweet includes a list of sites whose hacking had been verified by anonymous. Al-Akhbar can confirm that the sites of ISS Congress, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office, the Tel Aviv stock exchange, the Defense Ministry, the Finance Ministry and several others were down at 2:30 AM local time Sunday.
