Israeli officials report that since the Gaza flotilla incident last week, hack attacks against Israeli website have been up significantly, especially those originating in Turkey. On Friday, no less than 1,000 Israeli websites were hit by Turkish hackers, including some major companies and Ben-Gurion University in the Negev.

Israeli hackers are not just sitting back defenselessly, reportedly targeting Turkish site, with some reports indicating they succeeded in penetrating some unmentioned government sites, but at present, there is no Turkish confirmation of such occurrences.
