    Why do many Israeli defense startups fail to reach the battlefield? Former IAF senior officer explains why
    Feb 1 2026
    Israel’s defense technology ecosystem risks prioritizing flashy demonstrations over deployable battlefield capabilities unless startups adopt a broader, system level approach, Col. (res.) Merav Davidovits said in an interview on The Jerusalem Post’s Defense & Tech podcast.

    Davidovits, a former senior officer with 25 years of experience in elite Israel Air Force units who now works in venture capital and startups, argued that many defense tech companies focus too heavily on technological novelty while underestimating operational realities. Clean demos and impressive videos, she said, often fail to reflect the messy, complex conditions of real combat environments.

    How AI is revolutionizing cybersecurity: Israeli company Intezer's breakthrough discovery
    Jan 13 2026
    An Israeli cybersecurity company has shed new light on how artificial intelligence is reshaping both cyber defense and cyber espionage, following its discovery of a sophisticated AI-driven spy campaign targeting Russian defense technology firms.

    Speaking on the Defense and Tech podcast, Itai Tevet, CEO of Tel Aviv-based Intezer, described how the company uncovered a campaign that used AI-generated Russian language decoys, including realistic-looking documents and invitations, to lure victims into opening malicious files. The campaign, which Intezer observed in the wild rather than disrupting directly, appeared to be linked to a group associated with Ukraine, highlighting the growing role of AI in geopolitical cyber operations.

    How Israel’s defense innovation is reshaping global security
    Jan 6 2026
    From the battlefield to the boardroom, Israel’s defense innovation ecosystem is undergoing a fundamental shift. In this episode of Defense & Tech by The Jerusalem Post, host Anna Aharon-Haim speaks with Alon Lifshitz, partner and founder of Aurelius Capital, about how October 7 reshaped Israel’s defense tech landscape, accelerated military adoption of AI, and opened unprecedented opportunities for dual use technologies. Lifshitz explains why Israel has become a proving ground for real time defense innovation, how drone detection is emerging as a critical civilian and military challenge, and why global defense markets are racing to close the technology gap with the private sector. The conversation also explores investment trends in Israel, the US, Europe, and Asia, the role of former intelligence and defense leaders in venture capital, and the growing intersection between national security and commercial technology.
