Israeli hackers, under the name Israeli Elite Strike Force (@IsraeliElite) waged a cyberwar against Anonymous’ anti-Israel hack campaign, #OpIsrael. In response to Anonymous’ escalation of attacks on April 7, Israeli Elite disabled dozens of sites within Pakistan, Iran, Syria and several north African states.
