A single source reported on Monday that leaked documents show Elbit Systems, Israel's largest defense company, conducted negotiations for arms deals with the UAE. The purported deals include Hermes drones, a family of unmanned aerial vehicles manufactured by Elbit, and intelligence systems, with a total value cited as up to $1.3 billion. The channel also claims that equipment and spare parts were already sold to the UAE. The Zioneer has not independently verified the documents or the claims. Elbit Systems has not commented on the report. The report emerges against the backdrop of deepening Israel-UAE security ties following the Abraham Accords, including the deployment of Israeli Iron Dome systems in the UAE earlier this year, as previously reported by The Zioneer.
