Adding some to the above answers :
I'm sure there are a TON more that many people aren't aware of. Unfortunately, many companies rather not 'publish' the fact they have Israeli offices just for political reasons...
...and last but not least, Sears has an R&D office operating ShopYourWay in Israel, which is where I currently work.
(although I'm not sure 'Sears' is what you would call a 'tech' company)
- Face [dot] com (Face.com | Coming Soon) which was acquired by Facebook and still keeps their offices in Tel Aviv
