Myanmar uses Israeli technology and vehicles to quell protests.
According to a report published in the New York Times on Monday, Israeli-made reconnaissance aircraft and warplanes, hacking devices, and American software and European hardware will enable Myanmar to crack down on protesters.
Israel has banned the sale of military equipment to Myanmar following what was described as the 2018 genocide of the Muslim-majority Rohingya minority, but imports of equipment from Israel have resurfaced.
It is noteworthy that soldiers stationed on the day of the military coup in Myanmar appeared from trucks manufactured by the Israeli company Gaia Automotive Industries, especially models that were mass-produced after the Israeli embargo.
The head of the Israeli company, Shalumi Shraga, said that all the exported vehicles had received the necessary approval from the Israeli Ministry of Defense.
Documents obtained by the New York Times show that the government has tripled its activity on social media to monitor and arrest dissidents since the February 1 military coup, which sparked international condemnation and sanctions.
