Israel responds to failed Hamas cyberattack with air strike

I fully support targeted air strikes against hackers anywhere. Hopefully, that would "elimiate" the problem.
 
This has a long history:

In 1933, the Gleiwitz Radio Station was identified as an important hub for the dissemination of propaganda and the Germans constructed a new transmission tower and antenna there. The wooden tower, measuring 111 metres, is still standing today.

On the evening of 31 August 1939, a seven-man SS team stormed the transmitter station disguised as Polish insurgents. They pushed past the German staff, seized a microphone, and announced in Polish:

"Attention! This is Gliwice. The broadcasting station is in Polish hands."

The day before, the SS team had arrested a 43-year-old unmarried German farmer named Franciszek Honiok. To complete their deception at Gleiwitz, the SS officers dressed Honiok in a Polish uniform, murdered him, and left his body at the entrance of the transmitter station.

Today it’s much easier, of course. Just claim that somebody is hacking you and bomb a block or two for fun.
