- Taas
- (Taasiya Tzvait)Literally, "military industry." Taas was an enterprise devoted to the development and manufacture of weapons and munitions for the Israel Defense Forces and the defense establishment. It was initiated in Palestine in the aftermath of the anti-Jewish riots of 1921, when the need arose for guns and ammunition to arm the Hagana. It was ultimately incorporated into the Israel military-industrial complex and the Israel Aircraft Industries.
