Abstract
Waging war in the cyber domain is not a new concept. Controlling the enemies command and control dates back to Roman times with intercepting simple rotation ciphers to modern attacks involving targeting a countries uranium enrichment plants. While the domain of cyber is not universally defined, there is little doubt it is being used as an adjunct to land, sea, and air domains to achieve strategic goals. Currently Israel is an ally in the Middle East, though this causes political tension in the region. This assessment of open source intelligence serves to analyze the cyber capabilities of the nation.
