The transmission of two Israeli TV channels was hacked on Thursday and Azaan was played on them.
According to foreign media, the transmissions of the two channels were stopped suddenly for 30 seconds and a clip started playing Azaan.
Apparently, the hackers took the step in retaliation to the recent legislation in Israeli parliament to ban Azaan. Foreign media said that the transmission of Israel’s Channel 2 and Channel 10 was stopped.
As soon as the transmissions of the two channels closed down, there appeared some Hebrew words on the screens.
