The ongoing Israeli incursion into Gaza strip is not affecting NATO global operations elsewhere according to NATO officials. Speaking to journalists at a press conference in Brussels, James Apputharai, NATO spokesman said that there was no threat to its troops or operations from the situation in Gaza.

Earlier there were attempts to defacing websites, taking over computers, and shutting down Facebook groups.

On January 7, pro-Palestinian hackers defaced several high-profile websites, including a US Army website, and the Nato Parliamentary Assembly's website.

Calling themselves "Agd_Scorp/Peace Crew", they replaced pages with white space and a well-known photograph of a boy throwing stones at an Israeli tank in Gaza, and the Israeli, American and British flags with a red strike through them.

"Stop attacks u israel and usa ! you cursed nations ! one day muslims will clean the world from you!" BBC website cited the hackers as saying in their message.
