The CEO of the Israeli company Elbit Military Industries, Bezalel Machlis, announced that his company’s profits fell by 22%, after the Al-Aqsa Flood operation. Machlis attributed this to the evacuation of its factories in Kiryat Shmona in the north, and Sderot in the south.

He added that the company recorded a decline in its sales to the United States and Canada, and is also facing difficulties due to the ban on supplying weapons to Israel.
