# OpSaveGaza : Anonymous Takes Down 1,000 Israeli Government and Business Websites Hacker collective Anonymous has announced that it has taken down over a thousand of crucial Israeli websites in a huge new coordinated cyber - attack called # OpSaveGaza on 11 July and 17 July , in support of the people of Palestine . Some of the websites , such as the Tel Aviv Police Department 's online presence , are still offline two days after the distributed denial of service ( DDoS ) attacks , and numerous Israeli government homepages have been replaced by graphics , slogans , and auto - playing audio files made by AnonGhost , the team of hackers who coordinated the attack . The official Israeli government jobs website has had its homepage replaced by a graphic titled " Akincilar " , which is Turkish for the Ottoman Empire 's troops . A message written in English and Turkish - presumably by Turkish hackers - and accompanied by pictures of Palestinians suffering says : " The Jerusalem cause is Muslims ' fight of honour " and says that people who fight for Palestine are " on the side of Allah " . Another Israeli government website now bears an AnonGhost graphic and lists the usernames of 38 hackers . An audio file that auto - plays when the page loads plays music and a synthesized newsreader clip , together with a message beseeching human rights organisations , hackers and activists to attack Israeli websites to become the " cyber shield , the voice for the forgotten people " . Many of the websites have since been restored . The hackers have also leaked lists of Israeli government email addresses obtained by hacking websites of the Ministry of Immigrant Absorption , the Ministry of Justice , the Ministry of Culture and Sport , the Ministry of Housing and Construction and much more . Israeli websites belonging to restaurants , local businesses , associations , societies , academic foundations and even a symphony orchestra were also attacked , as well as a subdomain belonging to MSN Israel . A message on the main Pastebin page and some of the hacked websites reads : " The act of launching rockets from Gaza sector to Israhell is an acceptable and normal reaction against those pigs , it 's called Resistance and not terrorism . " Israhell never existed its only Palestine , it 's our home . If you are a Hacker , Activist , a Human Right Organisation then hack israel websites and expose to the world their crimes , show to the world how much blood is on their hands , blood of innocent children and women . " Anonymous has previously run another campaign in April targeting Israeli websites , although on a smaller scale . About 500 websites went offline during the OpIsrael campaign and the hackers released the phone numbers and email addresses of some Israeli officials . ;
