OpIsrael

OpIsrael is a coordinated cyber-attack by anti-Israel groups and people against websites they perceived as Israeli. The attacks are done through distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, database hijacking, database leaks, admin panel takeover, and defacing. Its stated goal is to "erase Israel from the internet" in protest against claimed crimes against the Palestinian people on behalf of Israel. The event is coordinated, organized and carried out by people associated with the Anonymous collective. Targeted websites include banks, schools, non-profit organizations, privately-owned small businesses, museum, government agencies and newspaper agencies related to Israel. The event uses the hashtag #OpIsrael.
