http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Manar Al Manar (5; 4; 5; 6;5;ž5;; Arabic for The Beacon) is a major Lebanese radio and television [1] news organization. Al-Manar is surrounded with controversy due to its self-proclaimed ties to Hezbollah. In the United States, Al-Manar was categorized as a terrorist organization by a decision [2] made by the U.S. Department of the Treasury pursuant to Executive Order 13224, prohibiting their access to American news outlets. Many European countries have also prohibited Al-Manar broadcasts. As noted on this thread on July 26th, Al Manar was still available by dialup and by this URL: http://209.172.60.145/NewsSite/NewsDetails.aspx?id=230&language=en http://freedom4um.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=31088&Disp=24#C24 That URL no longer works and apparently dialup does not work either. If anyone can find a working URL, Critter found the last one that worked, please post here.

I noticed it was down yesterday, and still is this morning I see. A shame, it's a good source for news.
Hijacked by Israeli hackers last Wednesday Israeli 'hackers' target Hezbollah TV A series of pictures and statements, apparently from Israeli-backed hackers, have appeared on Lebanon's Hezbollah-run television station, some showing pictures of corpses and others labelling the group's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, as a liar. One of the images shown on al-Manar television portrayed the body of a fighter lying face-down, wearing khaki trousers with a text in Arabic beneath: "This is the photograph of a body of a member of Hezbollah's special forces." "Nasrallah lies: it is not us that is hiding our losses," continued the text, which appeared during the evening news and stayed on screen for several minutes. A photograph of Nasrallah himself also appeared with the legend: "member of Hezbollah: watch out." Another photograph of corpses was framed by the words: "there are a large number of corpses like this on the ground and Nasrallah is hiding this truth." "Hassan sent men to fight the Israeli army, an army of steel, without preparing them. Stop listening to patriotic hymns for a moment, reflect and bring your feet back to the ground," said the Arabic message. Israel has reportedly used a variety of technological weapons to add a psychological dimension to its war in Lebanon. Lebanese mobile phone users have also received text and voice messages saying the Israeli offensive was aimed against Hezbollah and not the Lebanese people. AFP You can find this article at:
As if the hapless Lebanese don't know they are being slaughtered and their homes and country bombed to rubble, doh!

Psychological war
Israel also recently hacked into FM radio stations and instead of normal programmes a two-minute recording was repeatedly broadcast.
