Anonymous hacktivists on Tuesday evening managed to take over the airwaves of Israel’s TV channels 2 and 10 and broadcast mosque clips accompanied by sounds of Adhan (call to prayer) and anti-Israel remarks.
The broadcast interruptions on channels 2 and 10 which lasted for about 30 seconds described recent wildfires in Israel as “divine retribution.”
The hackers wanted to express their anger over Israel’s intent to enact “racist” legislation that would ban mosques from using loudspeakers to recite Adhan.
The new Israeli anti-adhan bill which could be voted into a law at the Knesset would exclude Jews from the use of amplifiers and loudspeakers to announce rituals and activities.
