The signals and cyber-warfare arm of Israel's military intelligence, Unit 8200 plays a vital role in the targeting, murder, blackmail and mass surveillance of Palestinians and other opponents, in addition having infiltrated and taken control over large parts of the global high tech industry. Felberbaum had been in the Israeli military for six years.[8]
