Background
Stryker's Israel link is a single documented acquisition — OrthoSpace of Caesarea in 2019 — plus the local commercial presence that came with it. In March 2026 the pro-Iranian hacker group Handala claimed a destructive cyberattack on Stryker; security researchers quoted in the coverage suggested the OrthoSpace connection may have been part of why the company was targeted, which is a claim about the attackers' motive rather than about any Stryker donation. Stryker does not appear on the Yale School of Management list of companies that publicly condemned the 7 October 2023 attack, and this pass found no corporate or foundation giving to Israeli causes.
