In quotes published in the regular Israeli media, the deputy FM said that it is essential to send a message to all those who attack or attempt to attack Israel, including in the cyberspace. Continuing with the stern warning he said that the hackers will be severely punished and will not be able to enjoy any impunity against reprisal actions from the Jewish state. He added that these cyber attacks against Israel are equivalent to terrorism that needs to be treated as such. Explaining it he said that they have got active capabilities in cyber space and they can also hit back those who hit Israel.
