Goup Hacks ’Israeli’ War Forces’ Twitter Account

Local Editor

Hackers broke into the Twitter account of the "Israeli" War Forces spokesperson's Unit and nearly caused great panic when they posted a tweet regarding a rocket hitting the Dimona nuclear plant in southern "Israel" on Thursday.

An official "Israeli" War Forces twitter account issued a warning of a possible nuclear leak at the entity's research reactor on Thursday.

In their own twitter account, the hackers said they hacked the "whole "Israeli" army propaganda," attaching a screenshot to prove their claim.

The Syrian Electronic Army has apparently taken credit for the hack, tweeting 'Long live Palestine!' via an "Israeli" War Forces spokesperson's account.

The security breach was noticed and the tweets deleted by the "Israeli" War Forces, which confirmed that its account had been hacked and apologized to their followers.

The tweets were deleted within minutes, but not before dozens of people had already re-tweeted the two hacked messages.

The Twitter hacking comes just days after the Syrian Electronic Army hacked the "Israeli" War Forces' official blog. On Sunday, the blog was showing a defaced page, with a message written in Arabic. The "Israeli" War Forces has not commented on that hack.
