In retaliation to the killing of a Hamas military commander by Israeli Defense Forces, the Anonymous group has taken down at least 40 websites belonging to Israel government and financial institutions.

In a web of well-coordinated attacks, the group attacked Israel Prime Minister’s office, the Defense Forces and several other institutions.

The group in a message posted on Pastebin said:-
Anonymous does not support violence by the I.D.F. or by Palestinian Resistance/Hamas. Our concern is for the children of Israel and Palestinian Territories and the rights of the people in Gaza to maintain open lines of communication with the outside world.
The group flooded the Israeli institutions with web traffic and replaced the IDF home page with a blog belonging to a private security company.
The attack was named  #OpIsrael.
