We report empirical evidence of web defacement and DDoS attacks carried out
by low-level cybercrime actors in the Israel-Gaza conflict. Our quantitative
measurements indicate an immediate increase in such cyberattacks following the
Hamas-led assault and the subsequent declaration of war. However, the surges
waned quickly after a few weeks, with patterns resembling those observed in the
aftermath of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The scale of attacks and
discussions within the hacking community this time was both significantly lower
than those during the early days of the Russia-Ukraine war, and attacks have
been prominently one-sided: many pro-Palestinian supporters have targeted
Israel, while attacks on Palestine have been much less significant. Beyond
targeting these two, attackers also defaced sites of other countries to express
their war support. Their broader opinions are also largely disparate, with far
more support for Palestine and many objections expressed toward Israel.
