Revelation: Israeli army exploited Microsoft for espionage

Pars Today – A British newspaper has revealed that the Israeli army’s Unit 8200 has been using Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform as an extensive database on residents of the West Bank.

According to The Guardian, sources within Unit 8200 disclosed that this data was used for purposes such as blackmail, arrests, and even justifying killings. The information reportedly played a critical role in the planning of Israeli military operations in both Gaza and the West Bank.

A Microsoft spokesperson responded to the allegations, claiming that the company has no knowledge of the specific nature of the data being stored by Israel’s Unit 8200.

The revelations have reignited concerns about how Israeli authorities are exploiting Western technologies to suppress and control the Palestinian population.
