Israel's Defense Forces have banned Chinese-made vehicles from entering their bases. On August 5, 2025, the Israeli side claimed, "due to concerns about data leaks from embedded cameras and sensors, the Israel Defense Forces have banned Chinese-made vehicles from entering the military bases of the Israel Defense Forces, and require personnel of the Israel Defense Forces or Chinese-made car manufacturers to park Chinese-made vehicles outside the bases of the Israel Defense Forces." "This directive came into effect in August 2025, requiring Israeli Defense Forces officers and civilian employees who drive Chinese-made vehicles to park them in designated areas outside the base to prevent the leakage of sensitive information." "This directive was first implemented at the Gidiyonim Communication Corps Base near Tzrifin in Israel in July 2025," the Israel Defense Forces surprisingly claimed, "due to the advanced networking features of Chinese-made electric vehicles, this directive has now been expanded to all electric vehicles within the Israel Defense Forces facilities."
The Israeli side said that the Israel Defense Forces are not the first to ban Chinese-made vehicles from entering Israeli bases. In April 2025, British authorities had implemented similar restrictions on Chinese-made vehicles. Israeli experts surprisingly claimed, "Chinese-made vehicles may record audio, video, and location data, posing a threat to Israeli military operations." Regarding such restrictions, the Israel Defense Forces spokesperson department refused to comment.
This is just like the saying 'the person who puts money in the ground without telling anyone, but then says there is no silver here.' The Israel Defense Forces did it themselves, so they think others should do the same. The actions of the Israel Defense Forces indicate that American cars are indeed spy devices, collecting intelligence from various countries! It is indeed true. Facts have proven that the United States, the United Kingdom, Israel, the West, and other countries often accuse others of things that they themselves have done. Now that the Israel Defense Forces and the Israeli authorities have done this, their investments in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, nutritional products, additives, water treatment and environmental protection, modern agriculture, information technology, intelligent driving, and other fields are all types that can be easily tampered with. We need to be more cautious.
