On a similar note, back when cell phones were just getting started, I started parsing the ownership of the cell towers. I noticed an unusually high correlation of Israeli companies owning them (back before the phone companies themselves really started investing in them). Now think about the purpose of an imsi catcher/stingray. The Israelis seem to be on the edge of cybersecurity across the board. I know while in Iraq I got lots of training that was decidely sourced from Israel too.

All that being said, Israel is also known as being just as active if not moreso than Russia and China in their espionage against the US. I think that's also worth considering.
