Muslim group hacks Likud website

The Likud party's official website,
www.likud.org.il, was hacked over the weekend by a Muslim group that goes by the name of Hell Team.
The site's homepage was replaced with the group's logo and the words, "You are killing the Palestinians and we are killing your servers," in Hebrew.
Writing in Arabic and poor English, the group "sanctified" the hacking to Palestinian and Lebanese children, and called for an end to the killing of Palestinian children. The page was signed by a hacker by the name of Cold Zero.
This was not the first time the Likud's website has been infiltrated. The site was hacked several times between 2003 and 2004, and in one of the cases, pictures of party members were defaced.
Israeli websites suffer such attacks on a daily basis, with the usual damage being the replacement of the homepage or the insertion of other pages belonging to the hackers.
Websites belonging to large bodies such as Channel 10 have also been hacked and a more recent attack was carried out against the United Nation's official website, where anti-Israel messages were implanted.
Likud party representatives were unavailable for comment.
