An English-language video posted to YouTube on Monday calls on Muslim
hackers around the world to participate in a movement to bring down
American and Israeli websites on September 11, marking the anniversary
of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York City.
"Hi, Israel do you remember us?" the modified voice-over in the video asks, referring to previous hacking operations, as a kaffiya-clad Joker laughs at the audience.
"We are the same people who f****d you on April 7. And now we are back. To punish you again," the voice declares, in reference to an April attempt, by the group Anonymous, to "erase Israel from the internet" on International Holocaust Memorial Day.
In their most recent operation, the group of technical militants announce the launch of a new operation,"#OpIsrael #Reborn." They then ask "all hacker Muslims to join their September 11 operation.
"There is no Israel in this map," the voice says in reference to ongoing Israeli-Palestinian political conflict, and a potential clue as to the intentions behind the operation. "No one recognizes you. Because it is Palestine."
The voice then poses a question to viewers. "Who are the terrorists?" it asks, while showing images of violent terrorist attacks.
It then calls on Americans and Israelis to expect an attack of some kind on September 11. "America, Israel. We will show you," it reiterates.
Toward the end, the video credits three separate hacker groups including Anonymous, who have attempted several similar operations, as well as lesser known groups, AnonGhost and Fallaga.
A logo with the words "Free Palestine" is printed across the last screenshot of the video, emphasizing the politics that are behind hacking schemes such as this.
Underneath the main text, in a barely visible font, the video pleas for the protection of all involved in the scheme. "May Allah help out hackers and mujahideen."
