Israel to Open Drone Factory Employing Ultra-Orthodox Workers

Israel will establish a new drone manufacturing facility that will employ ultra-Orthodox workers. The Israeli military has previously purchased FPV (first-person view) drones from a local company that operates some of its production facilities in China. The new factory represents a shift toward domestic production while providing employment opportunities for the ultra-Orthodox community, a religious group that has traditionally had lower participation rates in Israel's workforce and military service.
