The acquisition is part of Morocco’s latest effort to upgrade its arsenal as the country had announced a series of purchases for state-of-the-art military equipment earlier this year.

Military agreements between Morocco and Israel is coming at a time when rising tensions and a potential arms race between the kingdom and neighbouring Algeria which severed diplomatic relations last year with Rabat, citing “a series of hostile attitudes and trends”.

“This is a deal that will enable us to help them with what they need from us, of course subject to our interests in the region,” Israeli Defence Minister’s side Zohar Palti told a local media.

In February, Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) signed an agreement with Morocco to supply the military with advanced Barak MX air and missile defense systems in a deal worth more than $500 million.

Last month, the Kingdom announced striking a deal with a Israeli company IAI on collaboration in the aeronautic sector.
