It’s no secret that Israeli hackers have an online war going on with Palestinians and Saudi Arabs, but as it turns out, they also have a battle going on with hackers from Iran. The websites belonging to media outlet Press TV and the Iranian Ministry of Health and Medical Education were breached and defaced by hackers from IDF Team.

According to the Jerusalem Post, the hackers of IDF Team shut down the sites in response to a series of cyberattacks that targeted Israeli sites a day before.

The sites mentioned, along with three others, were altered to display an Israeli flag and some anti-Arab texts written in English.

The same sources reveal that, as expected, this fight is far from being over, the hackers already planning to launch other attacks as a form of retaliation against the actions of Arabs and other hackers.
