I've actually encountered it a couple of times trying to access some Israeli sites. More specifically I've encountered it in Hareetz for sure and I think it was after I disabled the clearURLs extension that it was fixed. And another site that I still cannot access is the Israeli post. I've managed to access it after turning on VPN and trying a couple different locations, but it gives me this 403 error whenever I try to open it w/o VPN. And also on the same site, my antivirus has warned me about a JS/Agent.PIV threat a couple of times that I've tried to open it, not every time, but it has happened multiple times, as I've had to track an order for some days.
