Elbit Systems to supply Israel with tens of thousands of artillery shells

Israel’s Ministry of Defence has signed a deal worth over 150 million shekels ($48 million) with Elbit Systems to purchase tens of thousands of 155mm artillery shells, aiming to boost IDF readiness amid ongoing military operations.

The munitions will be produced at Elbit facilities across the country, operating at an accelerated pace to meet wartime demand, The Times of Israel reports.

According to the Ministry of Defence, the deal is part of a broader program led by Defence Minister Israel Katz and the ministry’s Director General Amir Baram to strengthen domestic arms production in Israel and reduce reliance on foreign supply chains.
