Serbian arms exports to Israel in 2025 increased by 140 percent compared to the previous year, regional television En 1 reported, citing the Israeli newspaper “Haaretz“, which cited data from the Serbian statistical office, BTA reported.

In 2025, Serbia exported weapons to Israel worth 114 million euros.

“Free-access flight tracking data shows that last year weapons were transported by air (from Serbia) to Israel in 38 cargo flights – twice as many as those registered in 2024“, the newspaper writes.

“In the conditions of ammunition shortages due to the wars in Gaza and Lebanon, flights from Belgrade to the Israeli air base Nevatim have jumped sharply in the past two years“, the publication says.

The newspaper writes that arms exports from Serbia to Israel were worth 3 million euros in 2023 and increased to 48 million in 2024. Most of the exports were carried out through the Serbian state-owned company “Yugoimport SDRP“, and the rest - through four other companies.

Serbia has been criticized for exporting weapons to Israel since the start of the war in the Gaza Strip.
