An interesting question is whether information about these secret tapes was among the info that Jonathan Pollard conveyed to the Israelis

From the article:

"According to Haaretz, the release of the tapes by the NSA last week was not the first time that they were made available to the public. The Israeli government presented them to the Thames television network in 1987."

How could they have these tapes?

Not the SAME TAPES but tapes of the SAME EVENT recorded most likely at the IDF control tower or command center.
