Malaysian groups waged cyber warfare against Israeli and pro-Israel social media accounts during May's conflict between the Jewish state and Gaza-based terrorist organizations, according to a new report from the Israel-based Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center.

The report found that during Operation Guardian of the Walls from May 10 to May 21, a network of anti-Israel groups emanating from the southeastern Asian Muslim nation massively attacked mainstream social media and messaging platforms against Israelis and supporters of Israel.

The attacks took the form of harassing and trolling pro-Israel accounts and suspending and blocking the accounts, according to the report.

The targets included former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Hollywood actress Gal Gadot, the social media accounts of the Israel Defense Forces and accounts that used pro-Israel hashtags such as #IsraelUnderFire or #IsraelUnderAttack.

"The massive and aggressive attacks against pro-Israel accounts during the operation in Gaza demonstrates the power of the anti-Israeli Muslims on the web," the ITIC report concluded.

"The findings of the research indicate that there is a large and powerful network of anti-Israel groups and organizations in Malaysia, that should be further researched for its connections to the ongoing campaign to de-legitimize Israel, also known as DLG."
