hmmmm.......

Interesting, but then again look at it from a broader perspective. I would
classify Mosad as a Vigilante which may be one (or two) 15 year old kid
sitting in front of a computer. Do you have any evidence that these are well
coordinated attacks. If they are not so, they remain in the categories of
pranks.

MAGLAN Lab. done once again a drill-down check up regarding web defacement
motivation. Here below is one of the explanations we got (no editing
involved), from the Pro-Israeli underground / Hacker named "m0sad" (lately
defaced some Iraqis, Iranian and Palestinians web sites) :

MAGLAN q : Should your web defacement based on the cyber-conflict between
Israel and Palestine? -  When Palestine or Islamic Group hit Israeli web
site you will try to hit back? (The current Israel # Palestine Internet
combat). - OR - you defaced web sites for what so called -  "The global
awareness for information security".

M0SAD a:  " . Yes Our Defaces it's the CyberWar against Islamic Groups, not
the global security warning."

we can believe it or not, but since we have many more evidence that were
collected, I believe that the mentioned defacement is part of the on-going
cyber conflict over the Middle East.
