Technology company Microsoft has acknowledged providing emergency assistance to Israel following the October 7 attack, intended to support efforts to rescue hostages. The tech giant's admission came after a preliminary investigation - conducted following protests from employees and pro-Palestinian activists - into suspicions that its cloud and artificial intelligence services were used by the IDF to harm civilians in the Gaza Strip. The investigation findings showed no evidence of civilian harm, but the investigation itself revealed the company's technological involvement in hostage rescue efforts.
