The website of Al Arabiya news channel was hacked on Friday by Shiite groups in an apparent tit-for-tat response to recent attacks on Shiite websites by Sunni hackers.
The website's main page was replaced by a political message and a warning.
"SERIOUS WARNING: If attacks on Shia websites continue, none of your WebSites will be SAFE," read the statement in Arabic and English under a burning Israeli flag.
The hacking attacks are said to have increased after a strongly-worded Ram-adan statement by prominent Sunni cleric Yousuf Al Qaradawi, warning Shiites not to proselytise in Sunni-majority countries.
