Israel army website 'compromised by Jordanian hackers' amid Gaza war

The Israeli army's website was reportedly compromised by Jordanian hackers amid the Gaza war on Wednesday.

The hackers hijacked the English-language webpage, Turkish news agency Anadolu reported.

They left a message reading: "Your arrogance and oppression against our people in Gaza will bring you nothing but fear, death, and war – be it in the air, on the ground, or in cyberspace."

The Jordanians said they had commandeered the page in "response to your killing of our innocent people in Gaza, your ugly barbarism, and your dirty actions".

Israel's war on the Palestinian enclave has so far killed almost 18,800 people and injured nearly 50,900 others.

"We inform you from here that we will accept nothing but the liberation of our Palestinian lands, from the river to the sea," the hackers said.

"Even if our war with you lasts an eternity, you will find nothing from us but killing and terror.

"To our brothers in Jordan, to the people of Gaza and Palestine, we are with you in heart and action; the Palestinian cause is the cause of every free Muslim."

When The New Arab viewed the Israeli army's English webpage on Thursday, the site was displaying as normal, without the hackers' message.
