Defense Ministry Director Amir Baram held a high-level security assessment with the heads of Israel’s leading defense industries, calling for an accelerated pace of weapons production and enhanced protection of critical infrastructure in light of the Iranian missile threat, the Defense Ministry says.
Baram praised the role of Israeli technology in recent strikes on Tehran and in intercepting Iranian ballistic missile barrages, saying such operations “would not have been possible without groundbreaking technology developed over the years.”
“Our defense is not hermetic,” he warned, emphasizing the life-saving importance of following Home Front Command directives. He also stressed the need to boost industrial capacity and fast-track the development of next-generation defense systems.
CEOs from Israel Aerospace Industries, Rafael, Elbit Systems, and Tomer participated in the meeting.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
