The US has been using Israel as high-tech offshore military R&D for at least the past 40 years. The US "gives" $4 Billion in "military aid" to Israel each year.

You may also be aware that Israel invaded territory in 1967 which it continues to occupy in flagrant violation of "international law," and that this occupation continues to be violently resisted.

Those are a few of the more salient reasons why Israel is a hotbed of military/cyber/border/security technology. It's all developed, tested, and deployed against a vulnerable occupied population, then sold to the "friendly" (ahem) nations of the world.
