     This Amendment amends Items 3, 4, 5, and 7 of the Statement on Schedule 13D
filed by Howard P.L. Yeung, an individual residing in Hong Kong ("Yeung"), on
June 8, 1998, relating to the Ordinary Shares, par value NIS.002 per share (the
"Ordinary Shares"), of Rada Electronic Industries Limited, an Israeli
corporation ("Rada"), by amending such items as set forth below.

ITEM 3:   SOURCE OF FUNDS
- ------    ---------------

     Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is amended by adding the following to the
disclosure already made under such item:

     The source of the purchase price for the Ordinary Shares purchased by Yeung
in the Private Placement described under Item 5(c) below was personal funds of
Yeung. The source of the loan that was the subject of the Debt-to-Equity
Conversion described under Item 5(c) below was personal funds of Yeung.

ITEM 4:   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
- ------    ----------------------

     Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended by adding the following to the
disclosure already made under such item:

     Although Yeung's primary reason for acquiring the Ordinary Shares in the
Private Placement and the Debt-to-Equity Conversion (as defined in Item 5(c)
below) has been, and remains, to make a profit on such investment, and while
Yeung has no specific plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any
of the events described in subsections (a) through (c) and (e) through (j) of
Item 4, Yeung, as a major shareholder of Rada, is in a position to exert
influence over Rada's corporate strategy and the decisions made by Rada's
management. In addition, Yeung owns fifty percent of the outstanding stock of
Horsham Enterprises Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation ("Horsham").
Horsham has taken certain actions not ordinarily taken by purely passive
investors (see Amendment No. 5 to Horsham's Schedule 13D filed on the same date
as this Amendment).

     On July 15, 1999, at the request of management of Rada, Yeung wrote a
letter to Rada, which Yeung understood would be presented to Rada's auditors in
connection with their review of Rada's 1998 financial statements.  By such
letter, a copy of which is attached hereto as an Exhibit, Yeung indicated that
he was prepared to give favorable consideration to further investing in Rada, in
light of the circumstances then existing; however, the letter stated that it was
not intended to indicate that Yeung would be obligated to make an investment
under all circumstances.  A similar letter was sent to Rada on the same date by
Horsham.

ITEM 5:   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
- ------    ------------------------------------

     Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is amended by adding the following to the
disclosure already made under the indicated subparagraphs of Item 5:

     (a)  As a result of the transactions described in subparagraph (c) below,
Yeung owns directly 4,539,270 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 21.0%
of the outstanding Ordinary Shares.  If Yeung were to exercise the Warrants
previously reported, he would own 5,079,270 Ordinary Shares, representing
approximately 23.0% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares.  These percentages are
based on 16,328,000 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of December 31,
1998, according to Rada's Form 20-F dated July 15, 1999, in addition to the
issuance of 3,400,000 Ordinary Shares in March of 1999, and the issuance of
1,848,000 Ordinary Shares as partial payment for outstanding debt in June of
1999, for a total of 21,576,000

                                       1
<PAGE>

issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares as of the date hereof, to the best
knowledge and belief of Yeung (any percentages shown above that assume exercise
of the Warrants previously reported include the number of Ordinary Shares
acquired thereby in the total number of outstanding Ordinary Shares).

     As previously reported, Yeung owns 50% of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of Horsham Enterprises Limited, a British Virgin Islands
corporation ("Horsham"). As of the date hereof, Horsham owns 2,188,225 Ordinary
Shares, including 99,010 shares Horsham has the contractual right to acquire
(the "Horsham-Rada Shares"). If, by virtue of his ownership interest in Horsham,
Yeung is deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Horsham-Rada Shares, Yeung
would be the beneficial owner of 7,267,495 Ordinary Shares (assuming full
exercise of the Warrants previously reported). Such 7,267,495 Ordinary Shares
would represent approximately 32.7% of the total number of the outstanding
Ordinary Shares. The filing of this statement shall not be construed as an
admission that Yeung is the beneficial owner of the Horsham-Rada Shares.

     (b)  Yeung has sole voting power and sole dispositive power over the
Ordinary Shares acquired in the Private Placement and the Debt-to-Equity
Conversion.

     (c)  On March 9, 1999, Yeung purchased 2,691,270 Ordinary Shares at a price
of $0.63 (US) per share in a privately negotiated transaction in which Rada
directly issued 3,400,000 Ordinary Shares to five of its existing shareholders
(the "Private Placement").

     In June of 1999, Yeung acquired 1,848,000 Ordinary Shares at a price of
$0.63 (US) per share as partial payment (in the amount of $1,164,240) of the
$2,000,000 loan made by Yeung to Horsham on May 29, 1998 (the "Debt-to-Equity
Conversion").

     (d)  Not applicable.

     (e)  Not applicable.

ITEM 7:   EXHIBITS
- ------    --------

     Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is amended to disclose the following:

          4.  Letter to Rada dated July 15, 1999; and

          5.  Extract from Minutes of a Meeting of the Board of Directors of

circumstances.

Yours sincerely
