The Wikipedia page for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was revised on Tuesday with all biographical information removed and replaced with a large, single Palestinian flag.

The Wikipedia user responsible for the message, who uses the handle “TSKAero 1,” also changed the Israeli Defense Force’s description Tuesday afternoon to “the bunch of people randomly and unrepentantly murdering innocent Palestinian civilians,” the New York Daily News reported.

And Sunday, the user made several changes to the page detailing Israel’s ground offensive in Gaza, the Daily News said.

Mr. Netanyahu’s page appeared to be restored about 4 p.m. Tuesday.

Israel has been trading rocket fire with Hamas and stepping up its ground offensive in the Gaza Strip, a Palestinian territory.
