Be'er Yaakov

Other names:
Be'er Ya'acov

Primary function:
Missile assembly

Description and activities:
Israel's main missile assembly facility, located near the town of Be'er Yaakov, south of Tel Aviv. Jericho ballistic missiles, Arrow anti-ballistic missiles, and the Shavit space launch vehicle are assembled in a single long building. The Jericho and related Shavit are assembled in one area, the Arrow in another. The United States has reportedly expressed concern about the proximity of the two assembly halls because the United States provides technology for the development of the Arrow missile system.
