Thousands 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 scale 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:
