TEL AVIV—The last email Israeli tech executive Itamar Ben Hemo sent before a bullet ripped through his ribs, diaphragm and intestine was a note to a colleague. Ben Hemo personifies the Israeli tech sector’s rise. On Oct. 7, Ben Hemo was set to go on a weekslong trip to London and New York. For weeks, Ben Hemo spent roughly one day inside Gaza and one day out. Ben Hemo said the Israeli tech industry should now expect to face difficulties raising money from overseas investors and a wave of anti-Israel sentiment.
