Israeli Tech and Call Funding 

On Monday September 23, more than 80,000 suspected an Israel call attempts into Lebanon underlines Israel’s technological proficiency in the art of cyber and telecommunication warfare.  

According to Ogero’s representative, Imad Kreidieh, Israelis were able to hack their way into Lebanese phone systems-even with a block by Lebanon on the State of Israel’s phone code. How Israel routed calls from a third country, displaying an internal Lebanese code (04) was how it got around such restrictions and disclosed advanced capabilities for manipulating telecommunication infrastructures. 

This event demonstrates the dual nature of Israel’s technological development, particularly in cyber war. In addition to the actual field of battle, Israel has started to put advanced technology in service to create a psychological and informative war capable of paralyzing the communications systems and confusing civilians.  

This is part of the larger trend in modern conflicts where technology is used to shape public perception, gain intelligence, and interfere with enemy operations. As the Israel call continues to push ahead with its cybersecurity and telecommunication technology, incidents of this nature suggest its capabilities are bound to get more sophisticated with time and may rewrite the rules of information warfare in the region. 

These could be only the harbinger of a more extensive revolution to come, reaching well beyond the realm of telecommunication interference. With its profound expertise in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and data analytics, Israel call is well-positioned to push information warfare even further, shaping outcomes on multiple fronts by methods such as hacking, AI-driven data manipulation, and cyber espionage.  

The combination of conventional military strength with modern technological warfare forms an interesting pattern that defines the nature of modern combat; hence, Israel also happens to be one of the leading actors in this emerging theatre. 

The Tech Funding by the US  

The US continues to pump funds into Israel’s tech sector amid the war that Israel has been taking on Palestine and Lebanon.  

Israeli startups have long raised approximately about $9 billion in funding, second only to Silicon Valley and New York in total funding.  

Ongoing venture capital investment underlines a view worldwide of the high-tech potential of this country, as American investors continue to fuel innovation despite growing risks. Meanwhile, the Israeli Innovation Authority has been instrumental in facilitating such investments using state funding to make sure growth will continue in such critical sectors as cybersecurity. 
 
Dror Bin, the CEO of Israel Innovation Authority (IIA), told journalists that, despite the war, “the level of investment was pretty much the same as the same period before the war.” While he stated this, he also expressed his concerns about stagnation in hiring within the tech industry, something which could be a problem with regard to the stability of Israel’s economy. Meanwhile, U.S. investments are sustaining mature startups and defense technology firms during wartime, while it is harder to attract funding for smaller-scale startups-a harbinger of less auspicious times that await the industry. 

Where the Tech Funding Goes 

Advanced technologies mark the passage of the Israeli Defense Forces in their operation theater, and this time, they are looking forward to acquiring advanced thermal drones to increase mission safety.  

Equipped with thermal imaging capabilities, the drones would be highly useful for reconnaissance missions into dangerous areas, such as booby-trapped buildings, where hidden threats in the form of militants can be traced out without having the soldiers enter the high-risk area. The applications of thermal drones reflect a general trend in military technology, where more and more reliance are placed on unmanned systems for gathering intelligence, among other applications, to improve safety in operations. 

In the realm of surveillance devices, Israeli technology has created the FlyEye™ drone with the capability of flying aggressively and with precision through smaller spaces, really making the enemy feel like a fly is buzzing around its head. Enhanced by advanced espionage capability, the drone offers increased reconnaissance capability, giving a substantial edge in terms of precision and adaptability over diverse environments. With the advancement in drones, such innovations have shown how much robotics and artificial intelligence are going to play an essential part in modern defense systems. 

The Israel call and technology is extremely advanced, but will these advancements cost the Palestinians and Lebanese their lives?
