Elbit Systems plans to hire 4,000 new employees during 2026.
CEO Bezalel Machlis confirmed that 2,000 workers joined the company in the first half of the year. This expansion strengthens production and development capabilities in Israel and international markets.
Global defense shifts requiring higher industrial readiness drive the recruitment surge. Machlis highlighted significant demand for Israeli defense products across Europe. The company also aims to increase its production independence within Israel.
