Revealed: The Israeli military undertook an ambitious project to store a giant trove of Palestinians’ phone calls on Microsoft’s servers in
One afternoon in late 2021, Microsoft’s chief executive, Satya Nadella, met with the commander of Israel’s military surveillance agency, Unit 8200. On the spy chief’s agenda: moving vast amounts of top secret intelligence material into the US company’s cloud.
Meeting at Microsoft’s headquarters near Seattle, a former chicken farm turned hi-tech campus, the spymaster, Yossi Sariel, won Nadella’s support for a plan that would grant Unit 8200 access to a customised and segregated area within Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform.
Armed with Azure’s near-limitless storage capacity, Unit 8200 began building a powerful new mass surveillance tool: a sweeping and intrusive system that collects and stores recordings of millions of mobile phone calls made each day by Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
Revealed here for the first time in an investigation by the Guardian with the Israeli-Palestinian publication +972 Magazine and Hebrew-language outlet Local Call, the cloud-based system – which first became operational in 2022 – enables Unit 8200 to store a giant trove of calls daily for extended periods of time.

Day 9/150 Days of Growth
Had a quiet study day at a medical library today. I did some Azure exam prep and then spent the rest of the day coding + watching some House MD. I picked up some new books including "unlimited memory" and an official GMAT guide I'll be doing only a section every day (slow, but steady). Also rewarded myself with this Krispy Kreme tumbler which is already SO useful. What I got done today: ✒️ Finished the current section of Azure exam prep ✒️ Completed my first ever assignment in Azure ✒️ Mapped out how to fix my portfolio in Python ✒️ Some LeetCode questions ✒️ Completed 2 parts of my CS50 assignment ✒️ 20 minutes of GMAT math review
Playlist of the day:
Can I ask you questions about the cloud and the azure exam?

And just for fun, courtesy of Microsoft Azure CTO Mark Russinovich: GZDoom running on an Azure “Mega Godzilla Beast” setup, a nightmare of cloud computing that provides 448 CPU cores and a whopping 24TB (that’s terabytes, with a T) of RAM. Presumably this is intended for, like, curing cancer or something, but instead it might just have a chance of running Blade of Agony at a crisp, cinematic 24fps.
