In April, Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Cyber Fighters revealed their contribution to OpUSA. They said they would continue focusing on their own campaign, Operation Ababil, but they urged the OpUSA hacktivist groups to help them attack US banks.

However, according to a statement published a few hours ago, the hackers say they’re pausing Operation Ababil. In fact, they will not be launching any attacks this week.

“As was specified in the previous statements, al-Qassam Cyber Fighters's purpose of DDoS attacks to American banks is to convey the voice of objection of Muslims towards religious and Islamic sacrilege, to the politicians, statesmen and people of America and the world,” they stated.

“Our will is to remove the links which entails illegitimate attributions to prophet of Islam(pbuh) from the Internet. Whilst respecting nations, we ask all to preserve the limits of religious sanctities and divine religions,” they added.

“Due to the simultaneity of OpUSA with Operation Ababil, and to abstain from ambiguity in the intentions of our operation, this week we will not run any attack and so Operation Ababil will be paused during May 7-9th.”
