Lea Speyer, Breaking Israel News (BIN) — Israel is bracing itself for expected cyber attacks on Israeli institutions by pro-Palestinian hackers. Websites of various governmental agencies were taken offline on Monday as precautionary measures against the attacks.

In an operation called OpIsrael, Israeli security leaders ranked the cyber risks posed by the hacktivists as high. Walla reported that the whole cyber attack operation is connected to the infamous Anonymous group.

An annual attack, hackers utilize their talents to take over Israeli websites throughout the day using such methods as denial-or-service attacks. This is the second year OpIsrael has taken place.

The anti-Israel hackers, who have called themselves “Anonymous Operation Israel,” called on “cyber warriors from across the planet” to attack Israel online.

“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,” the group said in a YouTube video.

Israeli cyber security advisors warned the Israeli public not to open emails from unknown sources, to avoid suspicious links on Facebook, and to monitor bank accounts for activity.

The Israeli government, fearing that viruses could be sent to state agencies, has shut down all computers containing important data.

Last year, OpIsrael attacked numerous Israeli websites such as Yad Vashem, the IDF, and the Prime Minister’s Office. » Full Article

Anonymous Operation Israel – April, 7 2014

Video “About” Description

“Greetings citizens of the world.

We are Anonymous.

To the government of Israel:

For too long we have tolerated your crimes against humanity during the ceasefire and allowed your sins to go unpunished.
Through the use of media deception and political bribery, you have amassed the sympathies of many. You claim to want peace, yet the reality on the ground speaks differently. In fact your only goal is to better the lives of a select few while carelessly trampling the liberties of the many. You can NOT hide a demolished home. You can NOT hide the barrage of bullets you use to kill and maim Palestinians. You can NOT hide apartheid roads. The 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. Your vicious campaigns to attack Palestinian solidarity groups worldwide through censorship and legal wrangling has also NOT gone unnoticed.

We see through the propaganda that you circulate through the main stream media and lobby through the political establishment. We will NOT allow you to maintain these attacks on a sovereign country based upon a campaign of lies. Your games of deception will now be met by the wrath of elite cyber squadrons from around the world Your grip over humanity will weaken and man will be closer to freedom.

Israel, it is in your best interest to cease and desist any further military action and illegal settlements or the consequences will become worse with each passing hour.

Israel, We will treat each additional death as a personal attack on Anonymous and you will be dealt with swiftly and without warning.

This is a message from Anonymous Operation Israel, Anonymous Special Operations, Pillars of Anonymous, the Anonymous Collective of the cyber warriors from across the planet: 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.

We will not stop until the police state becomes a free state and Palestine is free.

We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not Forgive.
We do not Forget.
Israel, Expect us.”
