The bombshell investigation revealed that Unit 8200, the Israeli military’s notorious cyber-intelligence arm, has been storing millions of intercepted Palestinian phone calls on Microsoft’s Azure cloud servers in Europe since at least 2022.

The surveillance apparatus, which captures calls “by the million each hour,” is fueled by a staggering trove of data housed primarily in the Netherlands and Ireland, the probe found.

It monitors Palestinian life in microscopic detail, from the Gaza Strip’s bomb-scarred neighborhoods to every corner of the occupied West Bank, the daily showed.

The report went on to cite former Unit 8200 sources as confirming that the cloud-stored data has directly informed military operations. Officers sifted through intercepted calls made near bombing targets to justify airstrikes in heavily populated civilian areas.
