On Sunday, April 7, Israeli websites were disrupted again by “Operation Israel,” an initiative launched by the famous hacktivist group Anonymous. This cyberattack is the second Anonymous-led attack on Israeli servers.
The details of the group Anonymous remain secretive. The members of the group call themselves “hacktivists,” a term the group coined to describe its members' use of technological skills to fight for human rights. “Operation Israel” was launched by Anonymous Palestine, a branch of the Anonymous group dedicated solely to the Palestinian cause. There is little information about the group beyond its description on their Facebook pages.
