The additional funding will also go towards additional Arrow 2 batteries, as well as the development of a system to “defend Israel from outer space, against Iranian missiles”, according to Ynet.
The House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee appropriated the funds in addition to aid already approved by the Obama administration, which amounts to around $205 million used to fund additional Iron Dome batteries.
The overall sum is a record-breaking $440 million for defense systems, in addition to the defense budget Israel receives regularly from the US, which stands at $3 billion.
