Well depends on how you define valuable.<p>Tactical information usually means that by the time it&#x27;s intercepted, analyzed and disseminated on its self is have very little value.<p>For example if we are at war right now the chatter between various units on a local scale isn&#x27;t that important any information you might gain from them will not be useful to you as it will be out of date before you can do anything with it.<p>However if you capture the same tactical information over a long period of time during &quot;peace time&quot; from the same units during various military exercises you might gain some insight in the long run.<p>I don&#x27;t think the US has gotten any real intelligence out of this, they probably knew that Israeli drones are capable of carrying weapons and while Israeli still does not allow armed drones to be used in combat (at least within the confines of Israel&#x2F;Gaze&#x2F;West Bank) having proof that they do at least experiment with armed drones and being able to shove if into the face of some Israeli politician when the time comes might have some value.<p>The biggest value I can think of is that Israel is the largest exporter of drones in the world and while most of it&#x27;s export is to NATO countries (over 80% of NATO&#x27;s non-US drones are supplied by Israel), it also sells drones to China and now Russia (please note that after the &quot;Falcon&quot; affair there is a US congressional oversight over Israeli arms exports, this is the only country that needs &quot;US&quot; approval to sell arms under certain circumstances), so it gives them a fairly good opportunity to train under more or less real world conditions for when they&#x27;ll have to do it to some one that might slightly more mind their presence like say China.<p>On the other hand It would also not surprise me if Israel didn&#x27;t knew about this and was quite interested in seeing what the can the US actually intercept from their drones, because as far as real life goes while the NSA&#x2F;GCHQ might have been extremely proud of their work and boasting about how it can improve their national security some one from the CIA&#x2F;DIA&#x2F;DOD or even US congress could&#x27;ve take that report walk down to the Israeli Intelligence Attache in Washington and handed it out to them directly.
