A private Israeli firearms manufacturer that supplies guns to the Israeli military and other security forces.
Emtan Karmiel is a private Israeli company that manufactures firearms, barrels, and related accessories.
Within a week of Oct. 7, 2023, Emtan delivered some 12,000 rifles to the Israeli military and other security forces.
Many of these rifles, if not all of them, are MZ4P assault rifles that have been acquired by the Israeli Ministry of National Security to arm new civilian "security squads" in dozens of cities and towns, including illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank. News of these security squads reportedly caused the U.S. to halt shipments of thousands of additional assault rifles to Isreal.
