The popular Jewish news site Yeshiva World News (theyeshivaworld.com) was hacked Tuesday afternoon, with its entire homepage replaced by a defacement message and image.

Visitors to the site now see a large photo (file named AP26068752247671.jpg) followed by bold Arabic text that reads:

“الان ما در کنترل هستیم. صهیونیست‌های کثیف”

The text translates directly to English as:

“Now we are in control. Dirty Zionists.”

All normal news articles, headlines, and navigation have been removed.

The hack was first noticed within the past hour and has been widely shared on X, with multiple users attributing it to Iranian hackers amid the ongoing US-Israel war with Iran.

No group has issued a public claim of responsibility so far.
