Target website not blocked in Israel

Despite rumors that the US shopping behemoth Target blocked Israeli users from online consumerism, the website is back up and running, complete with shipping to Israel and prices in shekels.

It had been down for much of the day, with users getting an error message.

Earlier in the day, the Jerusalem-based Janglo forum posted a letter it said was from Target corporate headquarters saying that Israel had been blocked for being the origination point of malicious attacks on its website.

Target does not immediately respond to a Times of Israel request for comment.
