Over 20 Israelis, including former defense officials, have been investigated for illegally selling weapons to an Asian country, Israel Police said on Thursday.
According to a statement, an investigation by the police and the Shin Bet security service and Israel Police found that the suspects "developed, manufactured, tested and sold armed loitering missiles to an Asian country."
The suspects, the police added, received instructions from "elements" in the Asian country, in return for significant amounts of money and other benefits. The contacts were maintained clandestinely.
The Israelis are suspected of national security offenses, breaching arms exports laws, money laundering and other financial offenses. The investigation continues. The details of the investigation and the identities of the suspects are under a gag order.
