Two Israeli radio stations were taken over by the pro-Iranian hacker group known as Hackers of Savior on Thursday evening.

On the Radio 91FM, also known as Radio Lev Hamedina, the hackers disrupted the live video broadcast, while the broadcast of Radius 100 FM was replaced by pro-Palestinian propaganda, which included recordings in Hebrew – with an Arabic accent – of "Palestine will be liberated" soon. 

We come to you from the Palestinian capital of Quds (a reference to Jerusalem), the recording said. We are coming to you from a country whose history of olive trees is older than the regime. We are coming to you from a country stained with the blood of the innocent. We are coming to you from a country whose freedom is near. A country that will be liberated soon, said the hackers, who operate under the banner "#OPJerusalem."

The radio stations said they were prepared for such an attack as the Israel National Cyber Directorate had warned against potential hacking attacks ahead of Al-Quds Day, which Iran initiated in 1979 – the year of the Islamic Revolution – to express support for Palestine. The day is commemorated with anti-Israel protests and speeches as well as threats to "liberate" Jerusalem from Israeli control. 

The annual protests, also being held in Iraq, Lebanon and elsewhere, come on the last Friday of the Muslim holy month of fasting, Ramadan.

Hackers of Savior has a history of breaching Israeli institutions. Most recently, it claimed to have hacked into a system to transfer funds between Israeli banks and through it into people's personal accounts, although the Cyber Directorate found no indication of this.
