Israel's Defense Ministry signed an agreement to sell its David's Sling air defense system to Finland. The deal is estimated at over at 1.3 billion shekels (US$335 million).

David's Sling can intercept rockets and missiles at a range of 40-300 km. The system became operational in Israel in 2017. David's Sling made its first interception in May, shooting down a missile fired at Tel Aviv by Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
