WhatsApp alerted The Guardian on Friday that nearly 100 journalists and civil society members were targeted by spyware developed by the Israeli firm Paragon Solutions. The spyware, capable of infecting devices without user interaction through 'zero-click' attacks, may have breached their devices. This highlights ongoing threats to digital security and government-backed digital surveillance.

📌7amleh released its annual report, "Hashtag Palestine 2024," which highlights the repercussions of the Israeli war on Gaza, that lasted over 15 months, and the systematic violations of Palestinian digital rights. The report reveals how Israel utilized digital tools, including the weaponization of artificial intelligence, as part of its war strategy, leading to the shrinking of Palestinian digital spaces and entrenching an already unjust reality.
