Israeli cybersecurity professionals are offering free cybersecurity services to companies in response to a surge in hacktivist activity during the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Examples of disruptions included a gun-toting man appearing on screens during a Zoom lesson and hacked billboards displaying anti-Israel content. While some hackers have attempted intrusions and sabotage efforts, the damage has been modest. The Israeli cyber community has mobilized to provide support, but organizers are discouraging vigilante action against Hamas, emphasizing that it would likely be counterproductive.

Hacktivist groups are targeting Israeli online assets, such as the Jerusalem Post, amid the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict. They disrupt and deface websites as a means of expressing support for their preferred side or gaining attention. While there have been claims of disruption, there is limited evidence of serious or long-term damage. These activities demonstrate how some hacktivists use digital tools to bring the conflict into the online space. Security analysts have noted more than 100 Israeli websites being affected, mostly through distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. These actions are often hard to verify. Security experts anticipate increased cyberespionage activities behind the scenes.
