On Thursday of this week, there was a visit by the Minister of Science and Technology, Rabbi Prof. Daniel Hershkowitz, to the Ofek unit - the technological computing unit of the Air Force, where technicians and software engineers serve among the professionals in their field. The unit invited Minister Hershkovitz for a visit as part of visits he makes to technological bodies in the country.

The visit was accompanied by the head of the HA's equipment division, Brigadier General Ran Levy, and the unit, Col. Ze'ev Elroy, during which selected projects were presented to the minister by officers from around the unit. During the visit, the minister was surprised to receive a review from one of the students who studied with him while he was dean of the Faculty of Mathematics at the Technion.

Minister Hershkovitz noted that "Israeli capabilities in research and development give us an advantage over the countries of the world. Thanks to units like Ofek, this advantage is also expressed on the military level, so that sometimes we reach achievements that are ahead of the great powers"

  1. Big powers have big leaks - WikiLeaks
    In small countries there are small leaks - Anat Kam

    The difference is that with us, even the leakers eventually return the material to the state and there, it's on the net for everyone to see.

    Ronan, keep up to date.

  2. The difference between us and the great powers is that there they also know how to praise and not just criticize.

    This is a message issued by the IDF spokesman with quotes they chose..

    In any case, I also trust Rabbi Hershkovitz, who served as an officer in unit 8200, that he knows how to behave with confidential information.

  3. The only difference between us and the great powers is that here politicians volunteer secret information to the press, while in the great powers secret information remains secret
