Kela Israeli Intelligence has increasingly become a popular service on\u00a0Wall Street. The firm employs about 40 former intelligence operatives and analysts, most of them ex-members of the Israeli army\u2019s secretive 8200 unit, which is often described as Israel\u2019s equivalent to the National\u00a0Security\u00a0Agency and believed to be behind the Stuxnet computer worm that attacked\u00a0Iran\u2019s nuclear facilities.
