WASHINGTON (Reuters) - With an expected boost in U.S. funding, Israel plans to step up production of Arrow missile interceptors to expand its missile defense system, diplomats and defense analysts said on Friday.

Components for the Arrow missiles would be produced in the United States under a deal between state-owned Israel Aircraft Industries and U.S. aerospace giant Boeing Co.

If approved, the U.S. money would help Israel double the rate of Arrow production, according defense analysts. The missiles would then be deployed in Israel.

Boeing declined comment. A spokesman for Israeli Aircraft Industries in Washington said the United States had funded about 70 percent of development costs of the Arrow missile.

1. Well this should send a strong message to Israel

not to continue recklessly invading refugee camps, killing the civilians, bulldozing homes, and stealing land.

Further Israeli aggression might even be punished by more increases in military aid, so Israel should probably be smart and rethink it's current war policy.

Its the only thing I agree with the bush* administration on
