The rise in cyberattacks on Israeli human-rights organization B'Tselem has reached levels similar to activity seen during the conflict between Israel and Hamas in 2014, said Roy Yellin, the organization's director of public outreach. The personal mobile phone number of B'Tselem’s executive director was published online, prompting hundreds of calls and text messages, Yellin said. Israeli nonprofit United Hatzalah, which provides volunteer emergency medical services, posted on X that it had blocked access to its donation site from certain countries because of “a large number of cyber attacks against us.” U.K.-based Medical Aid for Palestinians, which provides emergency relief to people in Gaza, said on X that a cyberattack on its website was “an apparent attempt to prevent people donating towards our medical relief efforts.”
