                                    EXHIBIT 1

                                                    [LOGO OF ELBIT SYSTEMS LTD.]

           ELBIT SYSTEMS REPORTS THE IMPACT OF CERTAIN DEVELOPMENTS ON
                   ITS FOURTH QUARTER 2005 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Haifa,  Israel,  February  13,  2006 -  Elbit  Systems  Ltd.  ("Elbit  Systems")
(NASDAQ:ESLT),  announced  today that it expects to record in the fourth quarter
of 2005 an  estimated  $20 million to $25 million in costs,  which relate to (i)
its acquisition of a 70% interest in Elisra Electronic Systems Ltd.  ("Elisra"),
(ii) the purchase of an additional 13% interest in Tadiran  Communications  Ltd.
("Tadiran"),  (iii) the impact of certain  developments that occurred in Tadiran
during the fourth quarter of 2005 and (iv) value  impairment in connection  with
companies in which Elbit Systems holds a minority interest.

This announcement is further to previous Elbit Systems' announcements  regarding
the  potential  effect of the Elisra and  Tadiran  share  purchases  (the "Share
Purchases"), and further to its announcement dated January 4, 2006 regarding the
potential impact of certain  developments at Tadiran on Tadiran's fourth quarter
2005 financial results.

Approximately  one-half of the above-mentioned costs relate to one-time expenses
such as in-process  R&D,  restructuring  and write-offs of inventories and other
assets as a result of the Share  Purchases.  The balance of the costs  relate to
Elbit  Systems'  share in Tadiran's loss due to the strike at Tadiran during the
fourth  quarter  of 2005  as well as  costs  attributable  to  value  impairment
expected to be recorded in  connection  with  companies  in which Elbit  Systems
holds a minority interest.

Elbit Systems is in the process of finalizing its review of the above costs, the
details  of which and their  overall  impact on the  financial  results  for the
fourth  quarter  will be  reflected  in its  2005  year end and  fourth  quarter
reports, which are planned to be released in March 2006.
