Police probe finds they barely hacked into anyone’s phones

A spokesperson for Prime Minister Naftali Bennett says an internal police investigation into allegations of police using spyware on civilians without authorization was presented to the premier and other officials at a meeting in Tel Aviv by Public Security Omer Barlev, who oversees the police.

The probe found that police only attempted to use Pegasus on three people’s phones out of the 26 named in a Calcalist report Monday, but it only worked for one of them.
