In less than two days after Israel launched Operation Pillar of Defense (the English version of the more obscure Pillar of Cloud designation), civilian supporters on both sides of the conflict have begun launching cyber attacks against key websites (see my original post on this conflict). 88 defacements have been posted to Pastebin today and much more are expected to occur.

UPDATE 16NOV12 0944PST: The following Israeli gov't websites have been attacked by Anonymous per @AnonymousSKY: 

• Israel Security Agency (Shabak.gov.il)
• Ministry of Justice (Justice.gov.il)

@YourAnonNews has reported that cyber attacks from pro-Israel hackers have impacted VoxAnon - an IRC network popular with Anons.

UPDATE 16NOV12 1628PST:

• Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs is down (mashav.mfa.gov.il)
• More than 663 Israeli websites defaced
