Last weekend, Ghost Squad Hackers (GSH) attacked the website of the Bank of Israel, and then – the official website of the Prime Minister of Israel. To crack the server, the group of hackers used a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) and DoS-attack (Denial of Service).

Here’s what the leader of the Ghost Squad Hackers (GSH), S1ege told “We are attacking Israel for the ongoing atrocities they are committing on the Palestinian people. They just recently bombed Gaza again. The genocide needs to end. They are expanding an empire into land/ground that they do not own, over a book. There is a perpetual silence in the mainstream media. We hope our attacks will bring more awareness to this subject and bring more protests to this issue”.
Later the leader of the Ghost Squad Hackers (GSH), S1ege also stated that “Yes we have some attacks planned for Israel. We, in [the] past, leaked IDF [Israel Defense Force]’s database. We plan to do similar attacks in the future if there is no word of the ongoing genocide in Israel. The United States mainstream media works as stenographers for the U.S. government and speaks nothing of this its corruption at it’s finest. We will not stand idly by and let it continue. We also plan to attack the Syrian government”.
