Threatening text message from Hamas supporter sent to Israelis A threatening text message sent to Israelis by a supporter of Hamas appears to have come through British servers. By Jon Swaine Last Updated: 12:19PM GMT 15 Jan 2009 The message, which was received by several people around the country, read: "Come on into Gaza. Lots of surprises waiting for your sons, the least of which is death. Hamas." It was sent from the number +447624803777, which features the international dialling code for Britain. However, research indicates the number belonged to an online SMS service, through which users from all over the world are able to send messages for free. Attempts to call the number are met with an automated voice stating that the number is not recognised. The website of the online SMS service could not be accessed on Thursday and reports suggested it had closed. Nava Inbar, of Tel Aviv, received the message and has it stored on her mobile phone. She told the country's Ynetnews.com: "In the first second that you see it, you're mainly surprised. What? How did they reach me? After that, it's replaced by a sense of sorrow, anger, and intrusion into your privacy. "It didn't scare me. On the contrary. If anything, it makes me want to give it to them even harder. In my opinion, it is really a pathetic move. If they tried to arouse fear, they failed in their mission." Liron Morris, also of Tel Aviv, told the website: "It seems very legitimate to me to be scared when someone gets a hold of your telephone number and threatens you. "This is a kind of threat, and even if you know that it isn't really directed toward you, it is still stressful, especially when my husband is currently on reserve duty." The country's Ha'aretz newspaper reported that security authorities have opened an investigation into the text message. "Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." -- George Washington [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
