(Ha'aretz) Yossi Melman - Israel has stepped up its intelligence assistance to Ukraine in recent weeks via NATO, sources in Brussels told Ha'aretz.

Israel transferred a detailed file on Iran's drones, especially the Shahed-136, a kamikaze drone. Iran used it against Saudi oil facilities in 2019, and the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen used it to attack U.S. targets in Iraq and oil tankers in the Arabian Sea.
