Ynet – Even as senior government and security officials laud the performance of the Iron Dome missile defense system and other fighting measures supplied to the IDF by various defense contractors, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government has been falling behind on their payment.
Israeli Aerospace Industries, which developed and manufactured the Iron Dome radar, is owed $249 million by the government, as opposed to $175 million at the end of April. The firm announced Sunday that the defense ministry has not paid IAI since April.
