Inter-fada just a myth?

Virus icononclast Rob Rosenberger has been turning his jaundiced eye of late on a growing groundswell of stories about the supposed all-out cyber-war between Israelis and Palestinians. In his latest rant, Rosenberger says this whole "Inter-fada" thing is more like a game played by a bunch of not-particularly skilled script kiddies:
Hoffman (perhaps unintentionally) pointed out the absurdity of an Israeli-Palestinian cyberwar when she observed: "since a March 29 terrorist suicide bombing at an Israeli resort hotel and Israel's subsequent military onslaught in the West Bank, Israel has been the victim of 10 significant computer hacking incidents."

Wow, ten hacking incidents? That'll teach Israel not to invade the West Bank.
