JERUSALEM, Dec. 11 (Xinhua) -- Israel's Rafael Advanced Defense Systems sold Argentina's government a cyber protection system for five million U.S. dollars, the daily newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported Tuesday.

The system can monitor Internet activity, including Darknet, the hidden and isolated part of the network that is often used for criminal and subversive activity, for drug and weapons trafficking.

Israeli defense industries have entered this field over the years by setting up cyber units like Rafael and IAI (Israel Aerospace Industries), or by acquiring existing companies.

The system sold to Argentina is capable of monitoring network and communications activities, protecting digital arrays and equipment that is operated and connected to the network.
