Israel is bracing for a wave of Iranian-inspired cyberattacks that will try to disrupt the Israeli internet and deface local websites on Jerusalem Day, Israel’s cyber authority said Wednesday.

A new report by a watchdog group exposed the family foundation of billionaire eBay founder Pierre Omidyar for funding professors who push anti-Semitic, anti-American and anti-Israel agendas, the Middle East Forum (MEF) reported last week.
