A couple of domains owned by Israel’s Ministry of National Infrastructures (MNI) have been breached and defaced by Hitcher, a hacker part of the Muslim Liberation Army collective.

The affected subdomains are mine-rec.mni.gov.il and kasham.mni.gov.il.

“We are outraged at the Palestine present condition and the Illegal occupation of Palestinian Land By the zionist Israelis. This attack is in response to the Injustice against the Palestinian people,” the hacker wrote on the defaced site.

“Occupied Palestinian land under the guise of residential settlements are being increased. Palestinians are deprived of their basic human rights. International Aid workers are stopped from providing any humanitarian assistance to the people. The International community and media is not allowed to bring facts to world as due to strict restrictions,” he added.

The two MNI subdomains aren’t the only ones affected by this breach. A total of 80 other Israeli websites have also been defaced on this occasion as a form of protest against Israel.
