Hackers hit 700 Israeli Web sites
JERUSALEM – Hundreds of Israeli Web sites were shut down by pro-Palestinian hackers as Israeli troops invaded southern Gaza after the abduction of an Israeli soldier, an Israeli newspaper reported Thursday.
The Jerusalem Post said about 700 Web sites were shut down early Wednesday. Their home pages were replaced by the message, “Hacked by Team-Evil Arab hackers u KILL palestin people we KILL Israeli servers.”

Among the sites mentioned were Israel’s largest bank, Bank Hapoalim, as well as a hospital in Haifa, BMW Israel, Subaru Israel and Citroen Israel.
