A little skepticism is in order. The story reeks of PR, most likely by
Israeli counter-intelligence. It appears to threaten (in a nice way)
the civilian leadership.
I would suspect the facts as being inflated, the private eyes a convenient
cover for the desired message.
I read it as some sort of blackmail by Israeli secret police.
