Egyptian hackers raise their country’s flag on the Israeli prime minister’s homepage

The Egyptian regime’s downfall not only resulted in the people’s freedom from tyranny, but also generated more consciousness and will among the Egyptians to resist the Israeli enemy that had the upper hand during ousted Hosni Mubarak’s period. Now, they are refusing to keep mum on the Israeli blatant acts in their territory.

Egyptian hackers hacked into Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's website and into the official Israel Radio webpage on Sunday, according to an International Middle East Media Center report.

The hackers loaded a picture from the Yom Kippur War of Egyptian soldiers in Sinai raising their country's flag on the prime minister's homepage.

STAY AWAY FROM EGYPT!

According to the report, the hacker wrote "Anti-Zionism" and “Egypt is the greatest civilization, established more than 7000 years ago, but the terrorist state of Israel stole the Palestinian lands, and killed children” on the website.

The International Middle East Media Center also reported that a picture of a Palestinian child who was killed in a Gaza air strike was placed on the site with the message: “I advise you to stay away from Egypt; because we will make you a picture similar to the child you killed."
The official Israel Radio webpage was also hacked on Sunday, reported the Media Center as well as Egyptian newspaper Al-Masry Al-Youm, minutes after an Egyptian man climbed 21 stories to replace the Israeli flag on its embassy in Cairo with the Egyptian one.

The hackers wrote “The Zionist entity must realize that we will never forget, and we never forgot that this entity is our number one enemy” on the site, in response to the martyrdom of Egyptian security officers who were apparently shot by Israeli occupation troops during Thursday's attacks near Eilat.

RELAXATION OF TENSION ATTEMPTS

In the meantime, Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Jeffrey Feltman landed in Cairo late Sunday in an attempt to defuse tensions between Israel and Egypt.

Feltman is slated to meet senior Egyptian officials after he was mainly preoccupied with the crisis in Libya as of late.

The diplomatic row erupted after five Egyptian soldiers were martyred during clashes between the Israeli occupation soldiers and resistance fighters who perpetrated the attacks near Eilat on Thursday.
