Overview

Operation Save Gaza is an ongoing cyberattack orchestrated by members of Anonymous against Israeli websites in response to the Israeli Defense Forces' military operations in Gaza in July 2014.

Background

On July 3rd, 2014, the Anonymous faction AnonGhost uploaded a video to YouTube titled "Message to Israhell and all the world #OpSaveGaza," threatening cyberattacks against Israel for military actions taken during Operation Brother's Keeper (shown below).



Notable Developments

On July 9th, the Israeli news blog Times of Israel[3] reported on #OpSaveGaza, including an interview with Israel Internet Association CEO Dina Beer who lauded the country's network defense technology:

"We have very advanced protection systems that can detect when computers are creating phony traffic just to bring down a site, and we can automatically cut off those IP addresses from connecting. In addition, we can bar whole blocks of IP addresses from connecting to Israeli sites."

On July 17th, the @YourAnonCentral Twitter feed posted a tweet in support of #OpSaveGaza (shown below). On July 18th, the IBI Times[6] reported that Anonymous had taken down 1,000 Israeli government and business websites.

On July 19th, the Anonymous Official YouTube channel uploaded a video titled "Anonymous – Israel and Palestine: Operation Save Gaza," which called on viewers to target Israeli websites with cyberattacks in retaliation for Israel's Operation Protective Edge military operation (shown below).




Greetings citizens from around the world, we are anonymous.

Today, we claim victory against the fascist state of Israel.

A strong faction within anonymous has taken down over one thousand Israeli sites.

Attacks are still continuing, and are growing rampant by the day, and the cyber aggression against the Zionist state are stronger than ever before. We are calling upon the entire anonymous collective, and its hidden factions, to keep attacking Israel's cyberspace, and to always be cautious on the sites you attack, and the tools and equipment you use to leak or disrupt.

We need to show Gazans and Palestinians that they are not alone against this horrific evil.

To Israel: We will keep attacking you, and exposing your lies and crimes against humanity until you propose peace for once. Until then, anonymous and other groups will keep attacking your pathetic wall of a cyber-security. We will be forced to unleash our entire legion against your servers, thus banishing you from the internet.

Yet, we must stress, heavily, that this is not an attack on Jews, or the religion of Judaism, in fact, many Jews from around the world are siding themselves with Palestine, and not, Israel.

This is an all out attack against Zionists, and their corrupt ideology, and the systematic killing apparatus they use to suppress an under-developed location.

Operation Save Gaza, engaged.

We are anonymous.
We are legion.
We will never forgive.
We will never forget.
Expect us.
