Lebanese-born Eli Kasheq never thought that he would one day become one of the senior electronic warfare experts for the IDF. “We can change the entire course of a battle within 10 minutes,” said Eli Kasheq.

Eli Kasheq is a 57-year-old civilian employee who serves as the deputy commander of the Israel Defense Forces’ electronic warfare instructional school and the head of its Arab department.
At his base in Tzrifin, adjoining Rishon Lezion in central Israel, Kasheq makes himself comfortable in his office chair. His office is not the typical IDF office. It is small and stuffy and the walls are adorned with pictures of him in his youth, including wearing a soldier’s uniform during his own military service.
Several residents have been treated for shock.
