Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024

This bill provides FY2024 supplemental appropriations to the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Department of State for activities to respond to the attacks in Israel. The bill designates the funding as emergency spending, which is exempt from discretionary spending limits.

the Defense Health Program.

The funding is provided for purposes such as

supporting current U.S. military operations in the region;
replacing defense articles that were provided to Israel;
reimbursing DOD for defense services and training provided to Israel; and
procuring Israel's Iron Dome, David's Sling, and Iron Beam defense systems to counter short-range rocket threats.

The bill also provides appropriations to the State Department for
