Turkish hackers hold brief video call with Israel Katz and publishes image

A Turkish hacker group published the phone number of Israel Katz, the Israeli defence minister, and even managed to briefly call him on Thursday evening. 

Ynet reported that one of the hackers launched a video call with Katz, which he accepted. 

During the call, the hacker hurled insults at the defence minister and took a screenshot of his face, before the call was disconnected by Katz. 

The Turkish group later published the picture. 

It also published a screenshot of a number of messages it sent to Katz on WhatApp. 

The first message reads: “Hey Katz, never forget this, your death is near, we are the defenders of Qassam, we will bury you and your country in history,” apparently referring to the armed wing of Hamas. 

The next two messages read: “What the hell happened?” and “Did you block me, dog?”
