Pursuant to the answer of 14 April 2026 by the Foreign Office on Israel: Lebanon, how many export licenses for weapons or dual use items under each category of control list classification have been approved for export from the UK to Israel, which may be used in Israeli military operations in Lebanon.

We maintain the suspension of export licences for military equipment that could be used by Israel in military operations in Gaza, with the exception of the special measures put in place for exports to the global F-35 programme, as has been set out to Parliament.In practice this means that relevant licences for items which might be used in Israeli actions in other conflicts, including in Lebanon, have already been suspended.We published the latest information on all our export licences for Israel on 20 April, which is available here: Israel export control licensing data (20 April 2026).

Whether the deals announced on 16 December 2024 between the Israel Ministry of Defence and Elbit Systems for the supply of advanced communication systems to the Israel Defence Force will include products (a) developed or (b) made by Elbit Systems UK Ltd.

We cannot comment on individual companies’ commercial plans. Elbit Systems UK Ltd, like all UK companies, would be required to apply for an export licence to export military or dual-use items from the UK. All such applications are assessed against the Strategic Export Licensing Criteria and under the terms of our current suspension of certain licences to Israel, any licence application for components that could be used in military operations in Gaza would currently be refused.

Whether any Thor drones have been exported from the UK by Elbit Systems UK to partner companies in Israel.

Exports of these items from the UK would be subject to an export licence. Our records indicate that we have not issued any individual export licences for Israel to the company for the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) referenced. The company is also registered to two Open General Export Licences which in theory permit exports of UAVs to Israel, among other countries. The licences in question however only relate to transfers in support of UK Government defence contracts (e.g. for products that are then delivered back to the UK), or for the return of military goods that have been temporarily imported into the UK for exhibition or demonstration purposes. As the Secretary of State announced to Parliament on 2 September, we have suspended export licences for Israel for military goods which could be used by the IDF in military operations in Gaza.

Whether any Magni-X drones have been exported from the UK by Elbit Systems UK to partner companies in Israel.
