In the face of adversity, Israel’s hi-tech sector has demonstrated resilience, particularly in the rapid growth of #defense technology, driven by immediate #security demands. Arik Faingold, President and Chairman of Commit and co-founder of Pentera, emphasizes in a latest Jerusalem Post article, that the ongoing conflict has significantly affected fundraising efforts, compounded by previous concerns about judicial reform and fluctuating NASDAQ valuations. Despite these challenges, Arik also points to a silver lining: #innovation in defense technology is on the rise, driven by urgent security needs. To gain deeper insights into how Israel's hi-tech sector is navigating these turbulent times read the full article: https://lnkd.in/dHuttcqb #Article #HiTech #Israel #Cloud #Technology #Software #Innovation

#Netanyahu's 5 additional demands for #Hamas in the wider remit of ceasefire negotiations are widely accept by analysts, experts, and pundits as are a non-starter. Below are P.M. Netanyahu’s prerequisites for a settlement with Hamas: - Israel to resume fighting until it completes war goals - no smuggling of weapons to Gaza from Egypt - 1000s of armed Hamas fighters not allowed to return to the north - maximum # of living hostages to be released - deal can't undermine Israel's war objectives Netanyahu is purposely attempting to extract concessions from Hamas that are not only ludicrous, but more pointedly unviable. Hamas will continue to engage in war because the Netanyahu-led government is unwilling to propose conciliatory measures to fomenting a ceasefire with Hamas.

CIRA Tactical Intelligence Report: Fire and Fury: Iran's Ballistic Missile Assault on Israeli Territory We are pleased to present our latest Tactical Intelligence Report prepared by CIRA's MENA desk, offering a comprehensive analysis of the recent Iranian missile strike against Israel on October 1. Approximately 180 ballistic missiles, including advanced hypersonic variants, were launched, targeting strategic military installations such as the Nevatim and Hatzerim Airbases, alongside densely populated urban areas. This unprecedented escalation follows the assassinations of key leaders, Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas and Hassan Nasrallah of Hezbollah, suggesting a calculated response from Iran to assert its military capabilities and retaliate against perceived aggressions. Israel’s air defence systems, supported by U.S. capabilities, successfully intercepted many of the missiles, though reports indicate that some did reach their targets. The operational tactics employed by Iran aimed to overwhelm Israel’s defenses, with potential implications for regional stability should further coordinated attacks emerge from Lebanon or Gaza. This report provides essential insights into these developments, crucial for understanding the evolving security dynamics in the MENA region. We invite you to engage with us in discussing the implications of these events for global security and the MENA landscape. Your insights are invaluable as we navigate these complex challenges together.

Maritime Security Bulletin and Geopolitical Update Re: Hamas Has killed (1) Israeli Soldier and Wounded (3) Others in a Gunfire Exchange in Central Gaza. Issued by: Sanborn Analytics Contact Email: [email protected]   Phone: +1 (617) 539-6114   Media Credit: Israel Times (see link) Date: July 10th, 2024 Sanborn Analytics is issuing this maritime security bulletin and geopolitical update to advise the maritime shipping community and armed naval forces at sea of the changing geopolitical situation in the Eastern Mediterranean. Geopolitical Update: On July 9th, 2024, in ongoing hostilities in Gaza, an Israeli soldier, Sgt. First Class Tal Lahat, 21, of the Maglan commando unit, was killed in an exchange of gunfire with Hamas fighters. Three other soldiers were wounded in the incident. This casualty brings the Israeli military death toll in the ground offensive against Hamas to over 1000 killed in action (KIA), with more than 2500 wounded. In a separate incident, Hezbollah launched two rockets into northern Israel, resulting in the deaths of three Israeli civilians. These events underscore escalating tensions in the region and highlight the volatile security environment. Maritime Security Implications: Sanborn Analytics assesses that these developments pose heightened risks to maritime operations in the Eastern Mediterranean and adjacent waters. Naval forces and commercial shipping vessels are advised to maintain heightened vigilance and adhere strictly to security protocols. Recommendations: 1. Enhanced Security Measures: Ship operators should implement enhanced security measures, including increased onboard security patrols and heightened situational awareness.    2. Communication and Reporting: Maintain regular communication with relevant maritime authorities and report any suspicious activities or incidents promptly. 3. Route Planning: Consider alternative routing where feasible to minimize exposure to potential threats.

Maritime Security Bulletin and Advisory Re: The Israeli Air Force (IDF) and U.S. Naval Intelligence (in a support role) Carried Out Airstrikes On Yemen Houthi Positions in the Port of Al Hudaydah in Retaliation for a Drone Strike on Tel Aviv (IDF Attack Deemed Ineffective) Issued by: Sanborn Analytics Date: July 19th, 2024 Contact Information: - Email: [email protected] - Phone: (+1)(617)539-6114 --- Incident Overview: Sanborn Analytics issues this maritime security bulletin to advise the maritime shipping community and the armed naval forces at sea. On Saturday, July 19th, 2024, the Israeli Air Force (IDF) conducted airstrikes on several Houthi targets in western Yemen. This action was in response to a fatal drone attack by the Iran-backed rebel group on Tel Aviv the previous day. These strikes are reported to be the first on Yemeni soil since the onset of the Israel-Hamas war in October. IDF Statement: “A short while ago, IDF fighter jets struck military targets of the Houthi regime in the area of the Al Hudaydah Port in Yemen in response to the hundreds of attacks carried out against the State of Israel in recent months," the IDF said in a statement obtained by NBC News. Houthi Response: Houthi spokesman Mohammed Abdulsalam stated on social media platform X that Yemen was subjected to a “blatant Israeli aggression” targeting fuel storage facilities and the province’s power station. He claimed the attacks aimed “to increase the suffering of the people and to pressure Yemen to stop supporting Gaza.” Abdulsalam further declared that the attacks would only strengthen Yemen’s resolve to support Gaza. Mohamed Ali al-Houthi of the Supreme Political Council in Yemen warned on X that “there will be impactful retaliation strikes.” Additional Insights: Sanborn Analytics has confirmed that U.S. Naval Intelligence assisted Israel in this operation. Despite the attack, the Houthis retain full military strike capabilities, having sustained only minor damage in their port city. Advisory: Sanborn Analytics advises all maritime traffic in the Eastern Mediterranean to exercise heightened caution in and around Yemeni and Israeli waters, particularly near the port of Eilat.

The recent coordinated cyberattack on Hezbollah’s Rugged Pager AR924 communication devices (beepers) represents a pivotal escalation in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iranian-backed militant groups. This operation probably targeting lithium-ion batteries (remote signal manipulation of the pager's firmware probably using Radio Frequencies) likely executed by Israeli Unit 8200, underscores Israel’s intent to degrade Hezbollah’s operational capabilities without resorting to conventional military engagement. Tactically, this incident mainly serves three purposes: it disrupts Hezbollah’s military communications, creating disorganization within their ranks, while also preparing the battlefield for potential future Israeli offensives; a third purpose of the attack could be to demoralize Hezbollah's ranks by instilling fear: by targeting their communication systems, vital to day-to-day coordination, the attack shows Hezbollah operatives that even their supposedly secure, low-tech devices can be compromised, creating an atmosphere of distrust and paranoia. The degradation of Hezbollah’s command and control systems forces the group to reassess its communication strategies, possibly driving them towards less efficient and more detectable alternatives. Simultaneously, Israel’s ability to conduct such a precise attack without physical military action signals that it can neutralize Hezbollah’s capabilities in various manners. This raises the stakes for both Hezbollah and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

A great piece by Simone Ledeen . "Now is the time to invest in Israeli defense tech, to partner with and benefit from their combat-tested solutions against our common enemy. Make no mistake—those of us in the West are in deep trouble. This is an all-hands-on-deck scenario. As warfare evolves, we must ensure we are adapting to these changes for our own national security and in partnership with our allies for their own. Investing in the best and most innovative defense technology created by the Startup Nation in a time of expanding global war is not just a wise strategic move, but a moral imperative". https://lnkd.in/ejFHZrfz

Cyberattacks have become the modern battlefield for nation-states and dissenting groups alike. From Iran’s cyber espionage to Israel’s cyber-physical supply chain attacks, the stakes are higher than ever. A compromise in naval systems or critical infrastructure could have devastating consequences for governments. With the ever-changing technology landscape and the rise of AI it’s crucial for organizations to strengthen their cybersecurity posture to safeguard national security and economic stability. #Cybersecurity #NationalSecurity

Maritime Security Bulletin and Geopolitical Update Re: Hamas Has Killed (1) Israeli Soldier in the Southern Gaza Strip(Khan Younis)(Update: Hezbollah Has Fired (30) Rockets into Northern Israel) Issued by: Sanborn Analytics   Contact: [email protected]  Phone: (+1) (617) 539-6114   Media Credit: The Israel Times & Israel 24 TV (see links) --- Date: August 12th, 2024 Subject: Escalating Conflict in the Southern Gaza Strip and Implications for Maritime Security in the Eastern Mediterranean Overview:    On August 11th, 2024, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced the death of Sgt. Omer Ginzburg, 19, of the Paratroopers Brigade’s 101st Battalion, during ongoing military operations in the southern Gaza Strip. Sgt. Ginzburg was killed in a Hamas-claimed sniper attack in Khan Younis. His death adds to the significant toll the Israeli military has faced since the escalation of hostilities on October 7th, 2023. As of this date, over 1,000 Israeli soldiers have been killed in action (KIA), with more than 3,000 wounded. Geopolitical Update:    Sanborn Analytics assesses that Israel’s continued military operations in Gaza are facing increasing challenges, with Hamas gaining a strategic advantage in the conflict. Reports indicate a surge in Hamas recruitment within the Gaza Strip, suggesting that the group is not only maintaining but potentially increasing its operational capabilities. Given the heightened tensions and ongoing military activity, Sanborn Analytics urges all maritime vessels operating in the Eastern Mediterranean to exercise extreme caution. The risk of spillover violence and unintended confrontations at sea is elevated. Naval forces in the region should be prepared for the possibility of increased hostilities and consider this a potential threat to maritime security. Recommendations:  1. Maritime Vessels: Maintain a heightened state of alert and adhere to any advisories or directives issued by regional naval authorities. Avoid unnecessary proximity to conflict zones. 2. Armed Naval Forces: Monitor the situation closely and be prepared for rapid response to any maritime incidents that may arise from the ongoing conflict. Coordination with allied forces and civilian maritime traffic is critical to maintaining security in the region. 3. Hezbollah Missile Launch: Hezbollah has fired over 30 rockets into Northern Israel Sanborn Analytics will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as necessary. --- #maritimesecurity #israel #hamas #nationalsecurity #homelandsecurity #israelhamaswar #hezbollah #iran https://lnkd.in/e_xkXvh7 (Updated Video Israeli 24) https://lnkd.in/eZzwdkUA

#SAS #Intelligence #SecurityServices #Hezbollah #Cyprus: Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's threat to consider Cyprus as a "part of the war" if it continues to allow Israel to use its airports and bases for military exercises has garnered a generally muted reaction from leaders in Cyprus and around the world. The Cypriot government has assured that it will take appropriate action through diplomatic channels and emphasized that Cyprus is not involved in any war or conflicts. They reiterated that Cyprus is a pillar of peace and stability in the region and that relations between Cyprus and Lebanon are excellent. While no country will be allowed by the government to carry out military operations on the island, there is acknowledgment of the "peculiarity" of the British bases in Cyprus, which have a different status. The Justice Minister stated that measures regarding matters such as terrorism are evaluated and updated daily. Retired lieutenant general Ioannis Baltzotis expressed concern about Hezbollah's strong military and weapons systems, warning that Cyprus should always be prepared. However, he also believes that hitting Cyprus is something Nasrallah would want to avoid as it would be hitting the western powers. Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz reacted to Nasrallah's statements, highlighting the threat posed by Iranian missiles and extremist Islamic terrorism to European countries and the free world. Meanwhile, responses from other defense ministries were less forthcoming, with some stating they were not aware of Nasrallah's statements. #Investigations #Intelligence #Securityservices #Executiveprotection #Securitymanagement #Travelrisk #Travelsecurity #Riskanalysis #Securitylogistic For info: S.A.S. investigations and security Phone: +39 0463 901545 Web: www.sasinvestigation.com Mail.
