Israeli Security Firm Cylus Linked to Spanish Rail Infrastructure and Ceasefire…
What happened
A command center in Kiryat Gat is coordinating a ceasefire and hosting multinational forces supporting operations in the Gaza Strip. Separately, a report detailed that Spain’s state railway operator, Renfe, awarded three security contracts to I-SEC, the Spanish arm of ICTS, a security group built by former Shin Bet men. Cylus, an Israeli rail cybersecurity firm, is linked to this infrastructure through its technology partner, Thales, which installs signaling systems for Adif, the track owner.

Why it matters
The connection between Israeli security firms and critical European infrastructure, such as Spanish rail and airport security, raises questions about the oversight of these contracts. The report also links the political context of the Gaza ceasefire coordination to the involvement of these security entities.
