Israel's Deposed Missile Defense Chief Was Secretly Monitored for a Month

Defense establishment believes he stored classified info on his PC out of negligence, not malice. His termination is seen by some defense officials as disproportionate.

Nevertheless, a defense establishment source said that he was warned several times in the past about infringements in securing information. His deposition following a “grave breach" of securing information, in the words of the Defense Ministry’s statement, was considered by some defense officials as disproportionate.
