Israel's dependence on foreign weapons has been highlighted, with reports of arms embargoes and slow supply from the US. The country's reliance on outside sources for basic armaments like bombs and mortars has surprised many. This dependence poses a long-term danger, as demonstrated by recent bills in the US that would have embargoed future arms sales to Israel. To address this issue, Israel has signed two deals worth NIS 1 billion with Elbit Systems to provide heavy bombs and establish a facility for producing raw energetic materials. The aim is to achieve greater arms and weapon independence to reduce reliance on other nations.
