No. Doxxing—revealing private personal data without consent—violates Israeli privacy laws under the Protection of Privacy Law (1981) and may trigger criminal liability under the Penal Code (1977). The Israel Privacy Protection Authority (IPPA) enforces these rules, while 2026 amendments expand penalties for digital harassment.
Key Regulations for Doxxing in Israel
- Protection of Privacy Law (1981): Prohibits unauthorized publication of personal data, including addresses, phone numbers, or financial details. Violations may result in fines up to NIS 250,000 (approx. $65,000) under Section 22.
- Penal Code (1977): Article 226A criminalizes harassment via electronic means, with doxxing treated as aggravated harassment if intent to harm, intimidate, or incite violence is proven. Penalties include up to 3 years imprisonment.
- Cyber Law Amendments (2026 Draft): Proposed changes to the Computer Law (1995) would classify doxxing as a cybercrime, enabling the Israel National Cyber Directorate (INCD) to impose administrative shutdowns on platforms hosting such content.
