French news media reporting that U.S. National Security Agency documents imply that it was Israel’s Mossad and ISNU that used NSA’s division known as Tailored Access Operations (TAO) to collect 70-million French phone calls.
French intelligence suspected the phones were being hacked because they traced the hacks back to the NSA’s TAO. However, TAO officials flat denied they or the British empire members of the Five Eyes alliance were involved. When it came to answering questions about Israel, TAO officials simply said “TAO intentionally did not ask either Mossad or ISNU whether they were involved as France is not an approved target for joint discussions.” Their “intentional” avoidance of questioning Israeli agents suggests they knew Israel was behind it.
