Israeli hackers reported on Thursday that they broke into the Izzadin el-Kassam website, a wing of Hamas, as well as bringing down a number of left-wing internet sites.

The group is calling itself Fanat el-Radical (Fanatical Radicals) and broke into websites of anti-Zionists and left-wing organizations, as well as the terrorist site.

The group according to the Ynet report stated the members are 16-18-years-old and in place of the content of the targeted sites, there is now an Israeli flag and the words to Hatikvah, the national anthem.

Despite the fist and yellow background which is identified with Kach, the hackers insist there is no connection to the late Rabbi Meir Kahane or his followers.
