ALBAWABA - Activists on social media circulated a video showing the moment an Egyptian hacker managed to hack into the Israeli Channel 14 live broadcast. But what really happened?

According to the clip, the guests suddenly vanished from the screen, replaced by the Egyptian national anthem and flag, in addition to a special support message for Palestinians.

Before the message, a banner read: "Logged in by Egyptian hacker Ahmed Osman" was seen on the screen.

In the alleged viral clip, an Egyptian hacker reportedly projected a message of solidarity with the people of the Gaza Strip via the Israeli channel where he wrote: "We reject the displacement of the people of Gaza from their land." "Palestine will remain free."
