Espionage devices, designed to fool mobile telephones into giving up data, were found “near the White House and other sensitive locations around Washington, D.C.”, targeting Trump and other senior officials. Israel is certainly responsible.
The surveillance devices found are known as “StingRays,” imitate regular cell towers to fool cell phones into giving them their locations and identity information.

The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly described the report on Thursday as a “blatant lie” and said Israel doesn’t engage in “any intelligence operations” in the U.S. The hits keep coming anybody who knows anything about Israel and watches NCIS can tell you they are the leader in surveillance and spying not even the corrupt C.I.A. can match them.
President Trump needs to punish Israel immediately, be cares about people thinking he’s weak well this is. I don’t care if his family is Jewish those interests should never allow distraction from doing the right thing.
