> 019Mobile is a privately owned Israeli-based mobile operator under the brand “Telzar 019.” The GSMA website shows they began providing mobile services in 2013, and are the “sole supplier of outbound and inbound roaming services in Israel’s International airport.”
So, basically, almost everyone entering and leaving Israel (the only other border crossings possible are through Jordan and Egypt) will be forced to pass through an area where there is exactly one phone network operator reachable. Even assuming this provider is not a sketchy Mossad front, it by its presence alone is amongst the juiciest targets possible for any kind of surveillance apparatus.
Uh no, a Google search would tell you it's simply the contract to have sim card booths at arrival and departures at the airport https://www.themarker.com/technation/2017-09-12/ty-article/0...
