Israel�s drones have reportedly been hacked and images stolen from their cameras as a result of a sustained cyber-spying campaign by Britain and America.

According to a report in The Intercept, which cited documents stolen from the US National Security Agency by Edward Snowden, the operation to filch Israel�s secret surveillance was codenamed �Anarchist�.

It used an installation on a Cypriot mountain to hack the signals from a wide range of drones operating over Syria, Gaza, the Golan Heights and elsewhere, Sky News reported.

�Anarchist operated from a Royal Air Force installation in the Troodos Mountains, near Mount Olympus, the highest point on Cyprus,� the report said.

�The Troodos site �has long been regarded as a �Jewel in the Crown� by NSA as it offers unique access to the Levant, North Africa, and Turkey�, according to an article from GCHQ�s internal wiki.�
