		Israel's Military Industries has developed its first surface-to-surface cruise missile with a range of at least 180 miles, according to a report prepared by Jane's Defense Weekly.
		IMI and Israel would not comment on the missile's payload capacity, but the Delilah air-to-surface missile is based on the GL which can carry up to a 30-kilogram (66-pound) high-explosive warhead or a range of other payloads.

	Military Industry - Israel
		The development of a sophisticated defense industry inevitably led to exports, which today account for a majority of its revenues and allows the country's defense industry to compete against some of the largest companies in the world for foreign contracts, in addition to producing many of the arms needed for Israel's own defense.
		The modern defense industry in Israel was set in motion in the early 1920s.
		Israel's defense exports are coordinated and regulated through SIBAT - the Foreign Defense Assistance and Defense Export Organization - which is run by the Ministry of Defense.

		The main 120-mm gun, developed by Israel Military Industries, is enclosed in a thermal sleeve that increases accuracy by preventing heat distortion.

	As South Africa Integrates, Israel Cutting Military Ties
		Though Israel's Negev Desert was a suitable place to conceal its Dimona nuclear weapons facility, it was not large enough to discreetly detonate an atomic bomb.
		Sources reveal that Israel's decision to sever its ties totally with South Africa stems from Israeli fears that many members of Mandela's government were educated or received their military training in countries politically opposed to Israel.
		Sources at the Pentagon say that Israel indeed has significantly scaled back its defense and intelligence missions in South Africa, and has ordered several of its state-supported military industries to close their offices in Cape Town and Johannesburg.

	Israel's Beleaguered Defense Industry
		Israel, he said, cannot and will not be able to produce everything, therefore it is far more sensible to minimize as much as possible the costly risks of research and development (RandD) programs and foster strong relations with a reliable supplier, preferably the United States.
		Israel refused.(25) In July 2000 Israel was forced to scrap the sale of a sophisticated reconnaissance aircraft to China, despite her contractual commitments, following a direct American threat to cut Israel's military aid and downgrade strategic relations with her.
		The industries became the largest manufacturing and technological sector in Israel, employing tens of thousands, most of them organized in strong unions, and contributing enormously to the Israeli military qualitative edge, the nation's diplomatic efforts and its economy.

		With Israel still reeling from a prolonged dispute with the White House over military cooperation with China, the Bush administration is forcing Jerusalem to freeze a major contract to upgrade Venezuela’s American-manufactured F-16 fighter jets.

		It appears that Israel is not the only ally to the United States entangled in a dispute with Washington over Venezuela’s military ambitions.
