Palestinian Authority hackers briefly managed to pull down a few sites in Israel Wednesday night in the ongoing cyberwar launched by Iran and anti-Israel Arabs.

Among the sites that fell prey to attacks were the home pages of El Al Airlines, the Dan Bus Company, the Israel Festival, Israel's CinemaTek and Ha'aretz newspaper. The home pages were replaced with anti-Israel and anti-Semitic slogans such as "Free Palestine, Death to Israel," "Jew = Nazi" and a promise that "4 more Gilad Shalits will be abducted."

The latter hacker remark is a reference to IDF soldier Gilad Shalit, kidnapped by Hamas-allied terrorists in a cross-border raid from Gaza in June 2006, who was returned to his family in October 2011 in an exchange deal that cost Israel 1,027 Palestinian Authority terrorist prisoners.

All of the sites were restored within the hour.

With regard to Haaretz, how could anyone tell the difference?

That's what I was wondering.
