Pro-Palestinian hackers shut down Israeli Internet Web sites as Israeli troops invaded southern Gaza after the abduction of an Israeli soldier, an Israeli newspaper reported Thursday. The Jerusalem Post reported that about 700 Web sites were shut down in the campaign. Their home pages were replaced by the message, “Hacked by Team-Evil Arab hackers u KILL palestin people we KILL Israeli servers.” By early Friday, all the Web sites mentioned in the newspaper article were back in service. The report could not be independently confirmed. Among the sites mentioned in the newspaper report were Israel’s largest bank, Bank Hapoalim, as well as a hospital in Haifa, BMW Israel, Subaru Israel and Citroen Israel.
