Israel's Arms Exports Hit Record High Amid Ongoing Conflicts

In a year marked by prolonged warfare, Israel's military exports have surged to unprecedented levels as defense demand grows, particularly from European nations.


In 2024, Israel's military exports reached an all-time high of approximately $14.8 billion, surpassing the previous record of $13 billion set in 2023. This uptick, reported by officials from Israel’s Defense Ministry, is attributed to escalating conflicts across multiple fronts, including Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria, during the longest war in the nation's history. The demand for arms has significantly increased in Europe, driven by concerns over Russian aggression.

Despite the operational challenges posed by ongoing military engagements, this surge in arms sales offers a brighter outlook for an economy beleaguered by the war's toll. The contracts encompass both immediate deliveries and longer-term deals, highlighting the rapid expansion of Israel's wartime production capabilities.

In the year marked by escalating tensions following Hamas's invasion on October 7, 2023, Israel also received about $17.9 billion in military assistance from the United States, suggesting a substantial international military reliance. Comparatively, American arms sales reached $200 billion in the same fiscal period, underscoring the vast scale of the global arms market.

The confluence of increasing military exports and substantial foreign aid signifies a pivotal period for Israel’s defense industry, prompting a strategic pivot towards new international markets while continuing to engage in complex military operations at home and abroad.
