In the digital age, war isn't contained to the ground.
The Israeli government on Sunday said it has been hit with more than 44 million cyberattacks since it began aerial strikes on Gaza last week. Anonymous, the hacker collective, claimed responsibility for taking down some sites and leaking passwords because of what it calls Israel's "barbaric, brutal and despicable treatment" of Palestinians.
"The war is being fought on three fronts," Carmela Avner, Israel's chief information officer, said on Sunday in a press release. "The first is physical, the second is the world of social networks and the third is cyberattacks.
"The attackers are attempting to harm the accessibility of Israel's government websites on an ongoing basis. When events like the current operation occur, this sector heats up and we see increased activity. Therefore, at this time, defending the governmental computer systems is of invaluable importance."
Israel says the attacks have largely been unsuccessful.
"We are reaping the fruits on the investment in recent years in the development of computerized defense systems, but we have a lot of work in store for us," Israel's finance minister, Yuval Steinitz, said in a written statement.
Reuters quotes him as saying only one website was down for 10 minutes.

Anonymous, meanwhile, posted a list of more than 650 Israel-based websites it says it has taken down or defaced since last week.
"They've knocked down websites, deleted databases and have leaked e-mail addresses and passwords," Casey Chan wrote Friday for the tech site Gizmodo. "It's a whopping takedown."
A post on an Anonymous Twitter feed Monday morning said another set of hackers had defaced the Israeli versions of several Microsoft websites, including Bing, MSN and Skype. Visitors to Bing's Israeli site on Monday morning saw an anti-Israel rant instead of a search-engine homepage.

The Nazi right wing government of Israel needs to understand that Israel is getting more and more 'suffocated' due its actions. Four years ago , Israel did WAY MORE destruction and situation was controlled afterwards.
Today , Israel is faced with better Al Qassam Brigades and Tel Aviv is hit (after Israel intentionally started the conflict). There is a severe social media war on the internet against Israel because world is waking up. Egypt is currently being ruled by Muslim Brotherhood and Israel has literally NO ally in Arab world. The head of most powerful state in the region (Turkey) has directly called Israel a "terrorist state" (calling spade a spade , eh?) ....AND Israeli cyberspace has been hit by 44 million cyber attacks from all over the world. Little tiny Israel should smell the coffee...and this is just first 5 days of conflict in Gaza! And some idiot Israelis want to have 'greater Israel' ...
This Israeli government is biggest enemy of global Jewish community and its image , just like stone-age extremists are to Muslims.
