 Israel To Produce Munitions ‘locally,’ Reduce Reliance On US For Heavy Bombs

Israel’s Defense Ministry signed two deals with Elbit Systems to produce munitions and the raw materials required to manufacture them

Israel’s Defense Ministry signed major new deals on 7 January with a domestic weapons manufacturer in hopes of achieving “independence” in producing the heavy munitions needed to continue its bombing campaigns in Gaza, Syria, and Lebanon.

The Defense Ministry announced it signed two deals worth $275 million with Israeli-based Elbit Systems to supply the military with thousands of heavy bombs and establish a new facility to manufacture raw materials.

The ministry said the agreements were “crucial for enhancing the IDF’s operational endurance and force build-up capabilities” and represented a “central lesson learned from the war.”

Under the first agreement, Elbit will supply the Israeli Air Force with thousands of heavy air munitions, reducing Israel’s dependence on US weapon shipments to keep waging its wars.

Under the second agreement, Elbit will establish a “national raw materials plant to produce raw materials that were sourced mainly from abroad before the war.”
