U.S. PLEDGES ANOTHER $5.2 BILLION TO ISRAEL FOR “EMERGENCY DEFENSE”
October 23, 2024Israeli and U.S. officials have begun implementing a 5.2-billion-U.S. dollar emergency aid package to bolster Israel’s air defense system, the Israeli Defense Ministry said Monday.
The Israeli and U.S. sides completed an exchange of letters to initiate the package, which will enhance Israel’s Iron Dome anti-rocket system, David’s Sling missile defense system, and the Iron Beam laser defense system, the ministry said in a statement.
The package is part of an 8.7-billion-dollar military aid Israel said in late September it had secured from the United States, in which 3.5 billion dollars have already been transferred to Israel for “urgent wartime procurement.”
