"Infrastructure of the Israeli banks has been down because of what they did to Palestine. More banks have been added to the list," the group said on Telegram.
The hacker group provided links to the websites of institutions that had been subjected to the cyberattack, including the Israeli Post, which serves as an intermediary for numerous public services in Israel, as well as four Israeli banks.
The targeted websites have already been recovered, according to Israeli reports.
The attack took place on the last Friday of the holy Muslim month of Ramadan, when thousands of Palestinians gather for prayers in the Al-Aqsa Mosque on Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
Violence has escalated in recent months in the West Bank amid regular Israeli arrest raids in Palestinian-controlled areas aimed to counter terrorist threat. Over 90 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since the beginning of 2023.
At the same time, the Israeli police reported that they had successfully prevented several attacks and terrorist plans over the past days as thousands of pilgrims gathered in the city for religious celebrations.
"Police have foiled several attempted terror incidents and have successfully maintained order during the holidays. Over a million Muslim worshipers have come to the Temple Mount since the beginning of Ramadan, and the police continue their activity against rioters and instigators," the police tweeted.
