In short:

An Australian-designed weapon system has been trialled by Israel’s defence force after federal government insists no defence exports there since the Gaza War began.

Canberra-based defence company EOS is declining to comment on the demonstration earlier this year citing commercial sensitivities but insists it complies with regulations.

What's next?

Defence says it is only approving new export permits to Israel on items for Australian defence and law enforcement that will return to this country.
