Six Palestinian human rights activists were targeted by spyware from the Israeli surveillance company NSO Group, a new report revealed on Monday, in the first reported instance of Palestinian activists being targeted by the surveillance company. The six activists are all members of the six Palestinian civil society organizations recently branded “terrorist organizations” by Israel’s Defense Minister Benny Gantz.

Shalev Hulio, the Israeli spyware-maker who is at the center of an international controversy, says the BDS campaign pushed the investigation of his company, and Ben & Jerry’s decision to stop selling in occupied territory. Hulio is right that a new era of accountability has begun for Israel.
