The hacktivist group known as TheHackersArmy continues the operation launched by Anonymous and TeaMp0isoN not long ago, defacing more than 2,000 websites to reveal their protest messages against Israel in Operation Free Palestine.

Since most of the breached sites have nothing to do with Israel or Palestine, most of them belonging to companies from Peru, the purpose of the massive defacement operation may be that the hackers wanted to make sure as many people as possible see their message.

“Despite the brutality of the Israeli regime, the world including the dispassionate and neutral Arab states of the Persian Gulf, watch the agony and suffering of the Palestinian nation with apathy and indifference,” the hackers wrote on the defaced pages.

At the time of writing, most of the sites still host the webpage placed by the hackers on their domains.
