A neighbors dispute led a person to hang a sign containing offensive expressions on a shed facing his neighbor's house on two different occasions over several months, although her name was not explicitly mentioned.
The Supreme Court held that the neighbor will compensate his neighbor. The Israeli Defamation Law requires meeting the "identification requirement," according to which the publication is directed at a specific person. Even if a person's name is not explicitly mentioned, it is sufficient that their close environment can objectively identify them. Here, the sign directly faced the neighbor's house under circumstances that allowed her close environment to clearly understand the words were directed at her. Therefore, the neighbor will compensate his neighbor.
