Israeli technology ‘protects’ American water supply

If you were an industrial terrorist aiming to harm a civilian American population center, what target would you choose?

Water supplies would be a natural choice, which is why the Homeland Security Department and other federal and local agencies are utilizing the most advanced security measures to protect those sites from sabotage.

That's also why a major water authority based on the east coast of the US has selected an Israeli-developed solution to safeguard the utility's multiple sites from hazardous threats and malicious activity.

Magal's DreamBox is a state-of-the-art, intelligent video, audio and sensors management platform - all in one box. DreamBox offers local and networked digital video and audio recording (DVR/NVR), intelligent video analysis (IVA), virtual video matrix switching, two-way audio and site security management. In doing so, the DreamBox helps high-security facilities - such as airports, seaports, train stations, refinery facilities and utility companies - increase safety and security, according to Magal CEO Izhar Dekel.

... and this Dreambox can't bring a single security video as evidence against the assumed perpetrators, then I'm assuming the Dreambox operators are covering up an inside job.

A bit like how there's no evidence that the 911 'hijackers' or the 77 'train bombers' ever got on the planes or trains, despite all the CCTV/security cameras recording the check-in, boarding and platform points.

Israel controls water resources in Gaza, West Bank

Regional-Israel, Politics, 12/30/2006

Israel controls water reserves in Gaza and the West Bank and seeks to control water resources in the Golan Heights and South Lebanon, said a report released by the Arab Water Studies and Water Security Center.

The report said Israel was thus present in major Arab water crises, adding that Israel consumed two billion cubic feet of water of which 65 percent were rechanneled from the Arab areas.

Moreover, it said despite limited water resources in the Palestinians territory, Israel took over more that 80 percent of them, noting that large Israeli water projects counted on drawing water from Arab sources.

Water, the report said, had always been one of Israel's strategic motives for military operations.

The average individual in Israel consumes three to four times as much water as the Palestinian, the report said, stressing that resolving the Israeli-Palestinian crisis was linked to the water issue.

The report called for consolidating Arab efforts to face increasing water challenges and to demand that Israel should stop controlling Arab water resources if peace was to be achieved.
