Germany purchases Israeli anti-tank missiles

According to a Haaretz report published October 21, Germany has agreed to a $2.3 billion defense deal with Israel in which Germany’s Rheinmetall and Diehl Defense will partner with Israel’s Rafael Advanced Defense Systems to produce the precise and versatile Spike missiles. Last year, Germany purchased $357 million in Israeli weaponry—more than the previous four years combined. While many nations have distanced themselves from Israel, Germany is moving closer.
