Israel is trying to strengthen its air defense system even more.
Recently the Israeli Defense Minister said that the government has given an additional 535 million dollars to put the laser protection system called ‘Iron Beam’ into use as soon as possible.
According to the Israeli Defense Ministry, the Iron Beam system will be capable of intercepting and destroying rockets, missiles and small projectiles.
After the attack on October 7, the Iron Dome, considered the safest in Israel, was also destroyed by Hamas terrorists.
It has happened many times in this war that terrorists have penetrated the Israeli security shield. Hezbollah’s drone even reached Israeli PM Netanyahu’s house.
The Israeli Defense Ministry has signed an agreement worth about $535 million to significantly increase the purchase of the laser interception system Iron Beam to improve its security, AFP quoted the Israeli Defense Minister as saying.
He said that the biggest objective of adopting this system is to improve the efficiency of Iron Dome in stopping drones and other projectiles.
Because Israel’s enemy countries like Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthi rebels continuously attack and weaken the Iron Dome.
We want to eliminate that weakness also. Iron Beam will make Israeli airspace even more secure.
Iron Dome had failed
After the war that started on October 7, Israeli security was exposed in front of the world.
Iron Dome’s potential was highlighted by rockets and missiles fired by Hezbollah and Hamas throughout the war.
In these attacks, not only Israeli soldiers were martyred but civilians were also killed. To fulfill its shortcomings, Israel wants to adopt this system as soon as possible.
Who is making Israel’s security cover?
According to the Israeli Defense Ministry, many defense companies have jointly taken up the responsibility of making this protective shield. The Israeli Defense Ministry is working with Rafael and Elbit for this.
Rafael is a unit of Advanced Defense Systems Israel, whose work is to conduct research in the field of security. Whereas Elbit is a defense company.
Elbit issued a separate statement saying the government had awarded it a contract worth about $200 million specifically to develop iron beams.
Israel trapped in war is getting economic support from America. At the end of September, Israel had announced that it had received an $8.7 billion military aid package from the US government.
This package was given to Israel at a time when it was repeatedly ignoring American suggestions to stop attacks on Gaza and Lebanon.
How long will Iron Beam protect Israel?
Israeli Defense Ministry Director General Eyal Zamir said that we need a new protective shield.
We want to deploy it for the security of our country as soon as possible. But it will take time to be fully prepared and tested. We hope that within a year this system will further strengthen our security system.
Even at present, Israel has a global level security system, which demonstrated its capability by single-handedly intercepting about 200 missiles in the attack by Iran on October 1.
Iron Dome continuously protects Israel from rockets and missiles fired from Gaza and Lebanon. But due to continuous use, terrorists have also changed the way they attack.
For this reason it became necessary for Israel to create a new security system. Apart from this, Israel also has Israeli-American security systems like David’s Sling and Arrow missiles to stop ballistic missiles, which are built at American expense but are included in Israel’s fleet.
