Making the number of casualties can be minimized Zionist state. Of the 53 who died, 50 of them soldiers.

Meanwhile, on the Palestinian side who do not have the sophisticated protectors, as many as 1,200 Gazans died. The majority of civilians, including innocent children.

Recently revealed, hackers (hackers) who allegedly affiliated with the Chinese military reportedly stole 'a large amount of sensitive data' on Israeli missile shield which is also funded by the United States.

Document of three Israeli defense contractor reported stolen in a series of hacker attacks in 2011 and 2012 by a group known as the "Comment Crew" - an organization of hackers who touted funded by the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA).

Charges related to the attack delivered cybersecurity group, Cyber ​​Engineering Services (CyberESI) blog independent security analyst Brian Krebs.

Based on these reports, the Israeli defense contractor, Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, and Elisra Group targeted. Data were burglarized including technical documents covering everything from ballistic rockets through drones.

Joseph Drissel of CyberESI said that, based on the nature of the attack, the hackers are seeking out information about the Iron Dome.

 

The hackers also stole 900 page document that provides detailed information on the scheme Arrow III missile - the technology is not designed according to Joseph Drissel Israel, "but rather by Boeing and U.S. defense contractors."

"In the process, they basically handed a lot of things that may also be used in our system (AS)," Drissel said to Krebs, like Liputan6.com quotes from the Belfast Telegraph, Wednesday (07/30/2014).

Connection with the U.S. side may be the cause why the hacking was not reported by Israeli contractors. Two of them declined to comment, while IAI said that "old information".

Meanwhile, the modus allegedly by installing a number of tools and Trojan programs on the internal system of the Israeli contractor, reported in a way that hackers gained access to the email accounts of officials.

To Business Insider, a research scientist Jon Lindsay of the University of California's Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation said, hacking can indicate interest in China to develop their own missile shield. Moreover, it is difficult to develop such technology. Also not cheap.
