Online: Israel vs. Hamas
(Strategy Page) In Gaza, Hamas recently issued a warning to those playing online games. Israel has recruiters in these games who pass themselves off as Arabs and troll for likely candidates to be informants for Israel. Israel offers cash, goods or favors for information. There are always takers. In addition, the Israelis gain a lot of information via electronic intelligence work and UAVs that are constantly in the air over Gaza. In the West Bank, Israel has operatives who can pass as Arabs and speak fluent Arabic (with a Palestinian accent). In Gaza, the Israelis use pro-Fatah Palestinians. Israel recruits people in Arab telecom companies, a lot of people. Some get caught. But Israel has been able to hack into cell phone systems and monitor the Internet in Arab countries. Information, for Israel, is a matter of survival.
