US, UK hacked into Israeli air surveillance


Jerusalem (AFP) - US and British intelligence agencies for years hacked into Israeli drones carrying out surveillance to prepare for a potential strike on Iran, Israeli daily Yediot Aharonot reported on Friday.

Citing documents leaked by rogue US intelligence contractor Edward Snowden, Yediot said that the operation, codenamed "Anarchist", began in 1998 at a British facility in the Troodos mountains of Cyprus and a US National Security Agency (NSA) site at Menwith Hill, in northern England.

"From the documents it emerges that Israel operates a large fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles," the paper wrote.

"They collect intelligence in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and throughout the Middle East and were even used according to the editors (of the Snowden files) for gathering intelligence to plan the bombing of Iran."

Snowden, who had worked for the NSA, leaked a hoard of documents in 2013 revealing a worldwide US surveillance programme.

The Yediot report, which the paper says was submitted to the Israeli military censor before publication, does not give details of the Jewish state's surveillance of Iran but it shows what are purportedly the first published images of armed Israeli drones.

It also tells of Anarchist's penetration of F16 fighter pilots' heads-up display, in one case showing the aircraft tracking a target on the ground.

"It's as if they sat with them in the cockpit," the paper wrote.

"It's a look into the secret Israeli combat world," it said. "Potential targets, aims, priorities and capabilities, from Israel's view of its enemies. The United States and Britain profited from Israel's superb intelligence abilities and saw everything that Israel saw."

Israel's foreign ministry declined to comment but Yuval Steinitz, minister of energy and a former intelligence minister, said he was disappointed.

"We are not surprised. We know that the Americans spy on everyone including us, their friends," he told Israeli army radio.

"It's disappointing nonetheless because of the fact that for decades we haven't spied or gathered intelligence or broken codes in the United States."

After the 1985 arrest in Washington of US Navy intelligence analyst Jonathan Pollard, for passing US secrets to Israel, the Jewish state pledged never to spy on its ally again.

Yediot quoted an unnamed senior Israeli intelligence official describing the latest report as "an earthquake."

"Apparently none of our encoded communications devices are safe from them," he said.

this is pretty good

FOR EVERY KID who went to Space Camp (or wanted to) and dreamed of one day doing real astronaut training with their best friend, we present: We Can’t Live Without Cosmos. The eight-minute animated short from writer/director Konstantin Bronzit is about two BFFs who are in the final stages of prep before blast-off and couldn’t be happier. Then, one of them is deemed flight-ready. We won’t spoil it from there, but will say that Cosmos is completely dialogue-free, but still says a ton about humanity’s love of space and everyone’s need for a bestie. The short is currently up for an Oscar, but if you want to watch it before the awards show on Feb. 28, it’s above.

Even Einstein doubted his gravitational waves

In 1936, twenty years after Albert Einstein introduced the concept, the great physicist took another look at his math and came to a surprising conclusion. 'Together with a young collaborator, I arrived at the interesting result that gravitational waves do not exist, though they had been assumed a certainty to the first approximation,' he wrote in a letter to friend Max Born. Interestingly, his research denouncing gravitational waves was rejected by Physical Review Letters, the journal that just published proof of their existence. The story shows that even when Einstein's wrong, it's because he was already right the first time.
