A Jerusalem Magistrate's Court has issued an urgent injunction against protest activist Itay Leshem. The order stems from a NIS 1 million lawsuit filed by Yonatan Urikh, who alleges that Leshem hacked into his mobile device and leaked approximately 19,000 messages.
Urikh claims the breach and subsequent leak caused significant damage. Leshem, however, denies the hacking allegations, asserting that no breach occurred and characterizing the situation as a "planned influence operation."
