  "summary": "Israel is set to sign a $3.6 billion defence deal with Greece, marking the largest defence export deal in Israel's history. The agreement, known as \"Achilles Shield\" in Greece, will provide Athens with an advanced air defence system. The project, which is set to be finalized in Tel Aviv on Monday, will see most of the funds directed towards Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. This company will supply Greece with David's Sling systems, designed to intercept heavy rockets and ballistic missiles, as well as mobile SPYDER systems to counter unmanned aerial vehicles and drones. Israel Aerospace Industries will provide the Barak MX system, which is designed to defend against aircraft and missiles.",
