In an unexpected turn of events, a group of hackers successfully breached Israeli Channel 14’s news ticker, broadcasting a message of “Free Palestine” in real-time.
Hackers managed to write on the news channel's tape
During the live broadcast, Arabic phrases began to appear on the channel’s news ticker, with statements such as “Palestine is free and will remain so.”
Reported by the “Haaretz” website, the hackers responsible for this cyber intrusion were identified as a group of Morrocan hackers, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the incident.

What made this breach even more striking was the appearance of the phrase, “You have been hacked from Morocco,” on the compromised news ticker.
This incident follows recent social media discussions surrounding a video clip believed to depict a successful hack by a Palestinian individual into Israeli advertising boards.
The video showcases Israeli advertisements, displaying footage of military operations carried out by the Israeli army against Hamas. However, after several scenes, the imagery on the billboards transitions to the Palestinian flag, leaving social media users speculating that the hack took place in Tel Aviv.
