US, UK spied on Israel's drone and missile programs
ynet ^ | 1/31/16 | Ronen Bergman

The United States and United Kingdom's intelligence agencies managed to break the encryption on Israel Air Force drone transmissions and for years have been watching what the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have been transmitting to their operators.

The Americans and Brits were also able to breach other Israeli defense system, such at the Air Force's F16 fighter jets, the Arrow missile-defense project, and Israel's military satellites.

The breach was revealed for the first time on Friday morning in documents and photos leaked by former NSA and CIA analyst Edward Snowden, and were exposed at the same time by The Intercept, Der Spiegel and Yedioth Ahronoth.

The release of the document caused an international outcry, and Israeli officials called the US-UK spying operation "a severe blow to our security."

According to the documents, Israel is operating a large fleet of UAVs. These drones collect intelligence on the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and across the Middle East, and have even been used to collect intelligence for a possible Israeli strike in Iran. At least two models of these UAVs are armed with missiles and bombs used for targeted killings. The aircraft operate out of a number of bases in Israel, including Tel Nof, Palmachim, and Ein Shemer.

I wonder if we had as much success at hacking the North Koreans and Iranians? Probably not.

“I wonder if we had as much success at hacking the North Koreans and Iranians? Probably not.”

“American and British intelligence agencies were able to break the encryptions on advanced fighting and surveillance systems used by Hezbollah, Egypt, Turkey, Iran, and Syria, but the most resources and efforts behind the operation, codenamed “Anarchist,” were invested in Israel.”

I wonder if it had anything to do with Obama's fear they were going to attack Iran?

Debka File’s take detailing Eddy Snowjob’s role helping the Russians take advantage of the US intercepts. These revelations are helping the Russians keep IAF on their side of the boarder, giving Hezbollah and Iranian troop on the Golan a free hand to mass and set up for the next major war on the Golan without fear of any Israeli interference. These really are harming Israel, all thanks to the “patriot and hero” Eddy Snowjob ...

Bottom line for Israel on the drone intercepts - no harm, just revealing. Secret missions not hacked - where autonomous.

Exposure of US spying on Israeli drones served a pressing Russian interest

Exactly, or any other tin pot dictatorships.

No, let’s just spy on the only country in the world that fights for it’s freedoms on an almost daily basis.

Idiots. We have complete Idiots in charge.

So the Iranian Jarrett, who resides each day in or a few feet away from the Oval Office, could pass the info along to her Iranian friends.

Ask the Serbs. They were our allies through two world wars and were in our pocket throughout the cold war.

I wonder if some of it ended up on Hillary's private email.

One might think there's something better for US intelligence to do than monitoring Israeli drones flying within close proximity of Israel. Iranian drones? Chinese?
