The Israeli Ministry of War reported that the country’s arms exports reached a record $19.2 billion in 2025, up by nearly 30% from 2024. According to the source, the ministry attributed the increase to high demand for military products used in Israel’s wars against the Gaza Strip, Lebanon and Iran.
In a Tuesday statement, the ministry said that Israeli missile and missile systems and air defence systems accounted for 29% of all transactions over the past year. The source reports this figure as the ministry’s own, and it does not describe how the ministry calculated it. Those who live under the wars named in the report bear the costs of such weapons, and the protection of the vulnerable remains a central concern (Proverbs 31:8-9).
Electronic surveillance and visual systems made up 22% of transactions, according to the same statement. Radar, electronic warfare, and manned aircraft each accounted for 11%.
