Israel has an equivalent of the United States National Security Agency that carries out cyber warfare and other types of clandestine operations, but with one notable difference: It's staffed largely by teenagers.
The soldiers of Israel Defense Forces Unit 8200 - most living with their parents and working for peanuts as part of the country's compulsory military service - located the Iranian uranium enrichment sites Israel has been trying to destroy for the past week.
Definitely beats hanging out at the mall.
Alas, they won't have much in the way of bragging rights, as I expect they work in areas that are classified above Top Secret. Not to mentioned the Iranians really hate them.
ReplyDeleteAnd I noticed that the newspaper did include a couple of digs at the Israelis, in what was otherwise a somewhat balanced article.
I noticed the same thing in that article, notably the mentions that Israel has also bombed hospitals without mentioning that Hamas uses them as military hqs and weapons storage (aka human shields).
