Microsoft also helped the Israeli army in the war in Gaza - The Guardian



According to an investigation by The Guardian, Microsoft actively assisted the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) with cloud computing and artificial intelligence technologies during the Gaza offensive.

The Israeli military has become increasingly reliant on Microsoft's cloud services and artificial intelligence systems since the attacks of October 7, 2023.

According to leaked documents, the company deepened its relationship with the Israeli defense agency, signing contracts worth at least $10 million, including thousands of hours of technical assistance.

Microsoft has taken rapid steps to meet the IDF's demand for data storage and computing power.

The investigation was conducted in collaboration with The Guardian, 972 Magazine and Local Call, and is based on documents obtained by Drop Site News and interviews with sources in the Israeli defense and intelligence agencies.

The Israeli military has turned to major American technology companies to expand its data storage and computing infrastructure during its attacks on Gaza.

This has led, in particular, to the IDF's increased use of artificial intelligence technologies and cloud services.
