Cyprus will buy the Iron Dome missile defense system from Israel, the Greek newspaper Kathimerini reported.
According to the report, Israel and Cyprus have already signed agreements on the sale of the system, and the Cypriot Defense Ministry has begun to implement the agreements.
Israel's Defense Ministry announced in June that Israel would provide Cyprus with personal protective and tactical carrying systems developed by "Source" and a tactical carrying system for Cypriot soldiers developed by "Marom Dolphin."
Defense Minister Benny Gantz said at the time: “I welcome this agreement that is yet another expression of the close relationship that we share with the Republic of Cyprus. We will continue to strengthen our defense relations and cooperation to ensure mutual security and to maintain stability in the region.”
