Israel's defense ministry approved a $119 billion program to purchase new fighter squadrons, including a fourth F-35 squadron from Lockheed Martin and an additional squadron of Boeing's F-15IA jets. This move is part of a broader military modernization effort to maintain air dominance amid a tougher security environment expected over the next decade. The decision highlights the importance of the U.S.-Israel strategic partnership and aims to secure Israel's military edge well into the future. Next steps involve finalizing arrangements with the U.S. government and military.
