Five of Israel's largest tech deals

Intel announced that they will be buying Mobileye, an Israeli company that specializes in technology like self-driving cars, which will be taken as a sign of Israel upholding their self-assigned label as the "Startup Nation"

US giant Intel announced Monday it would buy Israeli car tech firm Mobileye for more than $15 billion (14 billion euros), the largest cross-border tech deal in the Jewish state's history.

Mobileye makes advanced driver assistance for car manufacturers, and has already collaborated with Intel and BMW to develop self-driving cars.

For Israel, it will be seen as a sign of the self-styled "Startup Nation" coming of age, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailing the deal.

Here are a few of the largest Israeli tech deals:

- Mobileye: $15 billion
