Israeli defense technology company Elbit Systems will open two military equipment centers in Morocco, according to Shai Cohen, head of the liaison office in Morocco, on the info defensa platform, who spoke to reporters earlier this week.

One of the two factories established by the Israeli manufacturer of weapons will be located in Casablanca.

Elbit Systems is a defense electronics business based in Israel, it focuses on global weaponry development and launches production programs on an international scale .

Since the normalization of Israeli-Moroccan relations in 2020, Morocco and Israel have increased their trade and collaborated in a number of areas, particularly in the military and defense sector.

Israel participated in the African Lion Military Maneuvers this year, which were held in Morocco.

On May 23, Israel Aerospace Industries Company (IAI) signed a memorandum of agreement with Morocco to establish an aviation and artificial intelligence center at the International University of Rabat (IUR).

Additionally, Morocco and Israel established last year a deal to create two Israeli companies in Morocco to produce military drones.

In 2021, Morocco and Israel signed a contract to produce loitering munitions in Moroccan soil.

Morocco accounts for 24% of arms exports from Israel in 2022, up from 7% in 2021, based on  figures from the Israeli Defense Ministry.
