Intel has a design center in Haifa and a fab near Tel Aviv. The
design center does both hardware and software work.

To their credit, the fab in Israel did not miss a single commit
during the Gulf War. Most employees worked right through the
hostilities.

BTW, the products I was working on at the time were fabbed
in Israel and we had some intersing phone meetings!
