Microsoft has partially suspended services to Israel’s Unit 8200, the IDF’s premier signals intelligence branch following claims by activist-linked media outlets that the unit used the company’s Azure platform to store data on Palestinian communications.

The Guardian, together with +972 Magazine and Local Call, published a report last month alleging that Unit 8200 built a program capable of recording and analyzing millions of calls daily in Gaza and Judea and Samaria.

Microsoft responded by conducting an external review of its cooperation with the unit.
