Taking the war online

As you probably already know Palestinian buildings burning after a rocket strike. this time waging a ground war on the country, but there are counterattacks going on.  Turkish hackers took over several prominent Israeli sites turning them into an anti war message.  From the article on IMEMC.org:

"The main page of the Ynet News was replaced by a black page which included four pictures; the first picture included a large number of bodies of Palestinians or Lebanese who were killed in Israeli offensives, the second pictures was of detainees at Guantanamo Bay, all forced nude and forced over each other, the third picture was an image of an Israeli religious man carrying a poster which reads Ending Zionism

= Peace, and the fourth picture was the historic map of Palestine which has several images of illegal land grab and annexation by Israeli through different historical periods.
The hackers also played a song about Gaza in the background. The website was fixed several hours later and the Ynet News managed to gain control over it again.
Furthermore, the hackers also controlled an Israeli Weather Forecast website.

It was revealed later on that the hackers are from Turkey and that they hacked into the websites in retaliation to the ongoing Israeli attacks against the Gaza Strip.
They left messages in Turkish and English stating 'You will be cursed in the electronic world', and other messages such as 'to the Palestinian people, your Muslim brothers salute you… be patient…we in Turkey support you..' ”
