An online news outlet has alleged that numerous US media figures are also former Israeli spies, Anadolu Agency reports.

White House Correspondents’ Association award winner, Barak Ravid, CNN producer Shachar Peled and New York Times producer Anat Schwartz are all alumni of Israel’s Unit 8200 – a covert ops, spying and cyber-warfare unit – and now have prominent media positions, reported MintPress on Thursday.
