    Report: IDF using Amazon cloud to store intel on 'everyone' in Gaza

    America's tech giant allows Israel to store massive amounts of data, some which has even been used in air strikes

    Sources in Israel’s Defense Ministry, the Israeli arms industry, the three cloud companies, and seven Israeli intelligence officials who have been involved in the operation since the start of the ground invasion in October, described to +972 and Local Call how the military procures private sector resources to enhance its wartime technological capacities. According to three intelligence sources, the army’s cooperation with AWS is particularly close: the cloud giant provides Israel’s Military Intelligence Directorate with a server farm which is used to store masses of intelligence information that assists the army in the war.

    According to multiple sources, the exponential capacity of the AWS public cloud system allows the army to have “endless storage” for holding intelligence on almost “everyone” in Gaza.





  • As the migrant shelter population has declined in recent years, the city has begun to close migrant-only shelters and transition asylum-seekers to more traditional shelters accommodating all New Yorkers. Starting next year with the closure of the South Bronx site, the city will no longer shelter new arrivals and longtime New Yorkers separately.

    The population decline was going to happen as Trump came into office no matter what. Mamdani might as well shut these down as long as the transfer to other shelters go well (we'll see i guess).

    It's also a good idea to not leave migrants all in one place for ICE to monitor and terrorize with ease, just a thought.
