Israel takes on Web sites used by Hamas

Israel reportedly has launched a campaign against Web sites used by Hamas and other Islamic terrorist groups. Ma’ariv reported Tuesday that the Foreign Ministry’s legal department has compiled a list of foreign servers that host jihadi sites, apparently unaware that their content violates international anti-terror regulations.

According to the newspaper, the ministry has recommended that Israeli missions abroad encourage local Jewish groups to lobby against the sites. A pilot campaign targeting one such site is under way. Israeli officials had no immediate comment on the report.
