In the background of the war: The security industry is breaking records
One of the areas that has flourished precisely in the shadow of war is the defense industry. According to data published in the Wall Street Journal, following the extensive experience Israel soon acquired in complex warfare, and the tense reality in the US and Europe in the shadow of the Russian and Ukrainian War, the Israeli defense industry finds itself breaking records. Meanwhile, companies such as Elbit, Rafael and IAI, which account for 70% of Israel’s defense exports, report exceptional growth. The three companies’ backlog jumped 25 percent in the first three quarters of 2024, reaching $63 billion, a significant increase over the previous years.
