Hackers vowing to wipe Israel off the map of the Internet had staged dozens of cyber attacks on Israeli sites on Saturday night.

The campaign by hackers around the world, has so far Vandalized dozens of ISraeli sites and released hundreds of e-mail addresses and passwords.

Sites serving Israeli government agencies, including the Securities Authority, the Ministry of Immigrant Absorption and the Central Bureau of Statistics were brought down, according to a list posted on Hackersnewsbulletin.com.  
Some 19,000 Israeli Facebook accounts were hacked as well in an “operation” called # OpIsrael.

The virtual campaign was launched by hackers affiliated with the Anonymous group in order to protest Israeli policies in Palestine. The organizers threatened to wage “the largest Internet battle in the history of mankind” that would eventually “wipe Israel off the map of the Internet”.

“You have not stopped your endless human right violations”, the group said in a post addressed to the Zionist entity’s government. 
“You have not stopped illegal settlements. You have not respected the ceasefire. You have shown that you do not respect international law”.

“This is why that on April 7, elite cyber-squadrons from around the world have decided to unite in solidarity with the Palestinian people against Israel as one entity to disrupt and erase Israel from cyberspace”. 

Israeli sources said that the attack was launched from areas in south Africa.Later on, the group was followed by other hackers from Arab and Muslim countries, including Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco.

The sources said that groups of hackers from Iran and Indonesia joined the campaign, adding that around 5000 hackers took part in the operation.
