Anonymous targets Israeli sites, offers Gazans internet help
Anonymous hacktivists have united to stand with Gaza after Israeli forces on Wednesday launched a military operation against the Palestinian enclave.
The latest attacks in a decades-old Israeli blockade have resulted in more than 20 deaths on both sides, according to news reports, including a number of Palestinian civilians, such as the 11-month-old son of a BBC journalist.
As part of "OpIsrael," the decentralized Anonymous collective is not just using its numbers to deface and disrupt sites, but also to inform Gazans on how they can remain online if the Israeli government cuts their internet connection. The group has released what it is calling a "Care Package for Gaza" and also linked to a Pastebin document from a fellow activist network called Telecomix, which offers instructions on how to use dial-up modems to stay connected.
