TEL AVIV, Israel, March 19 (UPI) — Amid swelling tension across the Middle East, Israel is preparing for a new kind of conflict: cyberwarfare.
It has already engaged in some skirmishes, such as an unprecedented Arab attack on its Internet infrastructure during the winter war in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip in December 2008-January 2009.
Hamas sympathizers across the Arab world, as well as Iran, Turkey and the rest of the Muslim world, launched hundreds of cyberattacks on Israeli Web sites.
