Israeli startups pulled in more than $800 million over the past week, led by mega-rounds in cybersecurity and artificial intelligence, Israeli business outlet Calcalist reported on Thursday.

The financial news site said that the massive funding rounds signal renewed confidence in the local tech sector and marked “the strongest burst of private investment in the country’s tech sector this year.”

Main funding highlights include Armis, an Israeli-founded cybersecurity company, which raised $435 million at a valuation of $6.1 billion. Also, Wonderful, a Tel Aviv startup building AI agents for enterprises, secured $100 million in Series A funding just four months after a $34 million seed round. Cloud security firm Sweet Security raised $75 million in a Series B, bringing its total funding to $120 million in about two and a half years.

Additional large rounds came from Majestic Labs ($90 million Series A after a $10 million seed), developing high-performance AI infrastructure servers; new cyber startup Tenzai ($75 million seed); and Serial cyber entrepreneur Shai Morag launching a stealth startup (about $60 million over two rounds).

“Such hate has no place in our schools or our state, especially as we begin Jewish American Heritage Month,” said Maryland Gov. Wes Moore.
“While our ability to provide additional information at this time is limited, we will continue to keep the community informed,” the private D.C. university stated.
“This is not a prank. It was an act of intimidation meant to spread fear,” Vince Gasparro, a Liberal parliamentarian, told JNS.
“We welcomed this traitor into our nation with open arms,” the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan said. “And he repaid us by building a bomb and helping our great enemy.”
The “failed approach” to lasting peace between the countries has “allowed terrorist groups to entrench and enrich themselves, undermine the authority of the Lebanese state and endanger Israel’s northern border,” said State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott.
“One has to wonder how that humble pie tastes for the Democrats today,” Sam Markstein of the Republican Jewish Coalition told JNS.
