The government on Wednesday released a very partial list of the  recipients of Israeli arms sales over the past two years, saying that  Israeli weapons had been sold to Spain, the United States, Kenya, South  Korea and the United Kingdom in 2011 and 2012.       
The list did not include the many other states that have independently claimed to have purchased defense equipment from Israel.       
The  information was published in response to a court order to reveal arms  sales information following a freedom of information petition from an  Israeli lawyer. Israel does not normally name the states to which it  sells arms and the state had previously refused to publish the  information based on “security concerns.”
