Same story from a different source:
With social media, location services, tracking cookies, and all kinds of personal identifiers on the internet these days, it can be hard to protect your privacy. But you'd think a national security professional would know better. As it turns out, one of Israel's top spy chiefs does not. Yossi Sariel has accidentally revealed himself as the commander of Israel's Unit 8200, one of the most sensitive roles in the country's military, heading up a powerful surveillance agency. He left his identity exposed online thanks to publishing a book on Amazon, The Guardian reported. When publishing the book, Sariel accidentally tied it to a private Google account in his name. The Google account came with a unique ID, as well as links to calendar profiles and maps. In its report, The Guardian was able to confirm with multiple sources that Sariel wrote The Human Machine Team, which is about the use of artificial intelligence in military operations. Sariel had published the book using the pen name "Brigadier General YS." The book, released in 2021, discusses the A.I. systems currently in use by the Israel Defense Forces in their brutal war in Gaza. The system was described in November by one former intelligence officer as creating a "mass assassination factory," and a more recent report detailed a lack of oversight and lax protections against casualties.

There is no reason now why President Biden should be selling Israel offensive weapons. The U.S. agreement with Israel is to defend them. Not follow them into a genocidal war against civilians.

Whatever happened to their tops in the world status when it comes to spy-craft? I doubt they could carry off the Eichmann extradition from SA today.

if he blames himself for oct7, why did he gave people weekends off? Why did Israel pay Hammas cash? Gaza is an occupied territory (aka human zoo).

Will Iran kill him now that his identity is public knowledge?
The Israeli's kill Iranian spy Chief's and nuclear scientists.
It would seem likely he won't sleep easy for a while now.
Unless he's permanently put to "sleep". Lol.
