Elbit Systems Ltd. is consolidating two of its communications systems sites in northern Israel as part of streamlining measures. The company will close its plant in Kiryat Shmona and transfer its operations to the large site at the Tel Hai industrial park nearby. The company employs twenty people at its Kiryat Shmona plant, of which at least eight will be fired, and the rest transferred to Tel Hai.

Elbit Systems is merging its operations in Kiryat Shmona with its operations in Tel Hai, most of whose employees live in Kiryat Shmona.
