Iran hacked the personal mobile phone of former Israeli military chief of staff Benny Gantz, Israel’s Channel 12 TV reported.
Gantz’s Blue & White party is Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s chief rival in the April 9 election. The party said the event took place four years after Gantz completed his military service “and therefore raises important questions as to the specific timing” of the Channel 12 report.
