This marks the first documented case of a major Western tech corporation's cloud infrastructure being used for mass surveillance of an occupied population. The storage of millions of daily phone calls on European servers by Unit 8200 represents an unprecedented merger of commercial cloud computing with military intelligence operations targeting civilian populations.

📰 What Happened
Microsoft's cloud infrastructure is being used by Israel's Unit 8200 to store intercepted phone calls from millions of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank since 2022. The surveillance system utilizes Azure servers in the Netherlands and Ireland, according to leaked documents and 11 sources. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella met with Unit 8200 commander Yossi Sariel in 2021, though Microsoft claims he was unaware of the data's nature. The system has reportedly guided military operations in Palestinian territories.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The integration of Microsoft's Azure cloud with Unit 8200's surveillance creates a new paradigm in technological control systems. This aligns with Daniel 12:4's prediction of knowledge increasing in the end times, but with an unprecedented twist: civilian tech infrastructure being coopted for military surveillance. The storage of millions of Palestinian calls on European servers fulfills Revelation 13:7's vision of authority over peoples, while Microsoft's largest non-US hub in Israel points to the growing centralization of tech power prophesied in Revelation 13:15-17.
What Makes This Event Unprecedented
