Last month, it emerged that Iran had launched a cyberattack on Israel’s water authority sites. The “Iranian hackers used American computer servers to launch their attack.” The attack was fended off. “Israel has an advanced cyber security apparatus and fends off of thousands of cyber attacks on a daily basis.”
And in late May, 300 Israeli websites were hacked and defaced with a “clip of Tel Aviv burning” and the words “Be ready for a big surprise.” The Times of Israel reported that “the website attack was linked by one expert to an activist group with ties to Turkey, North African countries and the Gaza Strip.”
In both the cyberattacks on the Jerusalem Post and on the 300 Israeli websites, connections to Turkey were noted, at a time when Turkey is becoming an increasing threat and menace to Israel.
“Jerusalem Post website hijacked by Islamist hackers,” by David Rosenberg, Israel National News, June 21, 2020:
The website for The Jerusalem Post was hijacked by Turkish Islamist hackers Sunday afternoon.
The hackers, who identified themselves simply as “Turkish & Muslim Hackers”, replaced the site’s content with a single page featuring the star and crescent of the Turkish flag, alongside verses from the Quran and Islamist propaganda.
“Don’t Forget ! Al-Quds is Our Red Line,” the page reads in part. “Free Muslims & Free Palestine & Free East Turkestan.”
At the bottom of the page, the hackers derided Israel as the “Chief Devil”, while comparing the Jewish state to the European Union, the United Nations, the US, and China.
The website was later restored Sunday afternoon.
Earlier this month, Islamist hackers launched “OpIsrael”, an annual effort targeting Israeli and Jewish cyber targets………

I keep getting more and more respect for the Israelis. They know how to put up with relentless attacks, whether they be physical or political. Watching the occasional Youtube videos about how Israelis see foreigners, muslims, and Christians, I couldn’t help but notice that many Israelis seem ignorant about what is stated in the quran about them. They are blissfully unaware about death and destruction muslims have in store for them. They even find islam preferable to Christianity for historic reasons. They ignore the exegis of both books and only look at the wrongful deeds of the Christians in the past. It would be good for the Israelis/Jews and any other civilised person to read at least Surah 8 and 9 to know thy enemy better. One would then come to the conclusion that a ‘two state solution’ is a total hoax and all the staged talks can never reach a satisfactory deal. All this will lead to a major attack on Israel in the future as described in Ezekiel 38.

Israelis know exactly what losing a war with their neighbours would mean. They may have different opinions on how to deal with the islamic threat but they are neither ignorant nor naive. They certainly see the Holocaust in the rear view mirror — very clearly.
Preferring islam to Christianity? I don’t think so but what the books say is almost irrelevant since when push comes to shove it doesn’t matter what religion the person killing you subscribes to. Remember that the Holocaust took place in Christian Europe (granted with the urging of the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and other muslims). Of course it wasn’t a Christian thing but living in a sea of Christians didn’t help much.

Another crude and unsophisticated attack on a free world news organisation.
This tells us a lot about the level of expertise of the hackers.
This is something we have come to expect from some snot nosed kid working out of his bedroom.The type of attack, whilst achieving it’s limited aim, was crude and lacked any forethought in it’s content.
I guess this would be considered to be the work of geniuses in places like Turkey and Iran.

Israelis cyber experts and Psyops folk should counter by giving muslim hackers back their OWN koranic verses..
koran 5 :20-26
{ the koran confirms that ISRAEL is the land of the Jews;since allah confirms this, what right do muslims have to go against allah?}
koran 74:30 “Above it are nineteen”
{Nineteen WHAT?Can any muslims tell us what allah means?How can anything in the koran be taken seriously when nobody knows what allah means?}
koran 17:1 That mosque that muhammed visited on his MAGICAL FLYING DONKEY WITH A WOMAN’S FACE AND A PEACOCK TAIL called buraq?
Yes,tell us about that mosque that was in Jerusalem in mo’s time…{there was no mosque}
koran 10:94
{allah tells muhammed that if he is in doubt..he is to consult those who ‘read the scripture that was before thee’:that’s the BIBLE
And what’s in the Bible?
YHWH’s prophecies concerning the fate of the enemies of ISRAEL
{Book of Joel 3 chpt 3 for starters:
“be ready for…..YHWH’s surprise as your Arab god allah won’t help you”}
“Free muslims with ….every pack of Bacon you buy”
FYI says
1.koran 5:20-26
2.koran 10:94
3.Joel {chpts 2 and 3} +Zechariah{ chpt 14}
4 koran 3:3{remember:allah CONFIRMS the Bible}
YHWH{Israel} vs al lah {=hubaal}{Enemies of Israel}
{allah is NOT YHWH}
i.e
1.allah confirms Israel as the land of the Jews
2.allah tells muhammed{and thus muslims} to consult those who know the Bible.
3.Biblical prophecies are clear about what will happen to the enemies of Israel as Bible scholars will testify..
4.allah confirms the Bible
see if the muslims can figure it out…
David or goliath?
Guess which book is clearly in ERROR?
the koran.
{Biblical prophecy plays out against the enemies of ISRAEL:this is real prophecy.
islamic prophecy is FALSE as allah MISSED its source:the Holy Spirit
But of course muslims won’t get that}
“Go ahead goliath:you can’t lose against David.The odds appear to be in your favor,right?”
