some hacks were domainregistration DNS hacks

Morrocco-based defacement team "Team Evil" has raced the cyber attack to a new level. By logging in the Internet registration services provider, Domain The Net Technologies, using the real credentials of the domain owner, the hackers were able to redirect traffic for several prominent Israeli websites, including that of YnetNews.com, a major Israeli English-speaking news website, and the website "www.israirairlines.com". This blogger also found evidence that the site "terrorism-info.org.il" was also rerouted to the same location. Terrorism-info is a site showing the "Operation Cast Lead" from the Israeli point of view.

Anyone entering the actual address of YnetNews during this time would not be sent to the real webserver, but instead be redirected by the fake DNS server to another server, displaying the hacker's message.
