The Israeli military revealed it had secretly deployed a new laser interception system during last year’s conflict with Hezbollah, successfully downing dozens of explosive-laden drones over northern Israel.
The system, a compact version of Rafael’s “Iron Beam,” was rushed into use amid a wave of more than 300 drone attacks. The Defense Ministry said the system delivered “particularly high interception achievements,” protecting both civilians and strategic assets.
The full-scale Iron Beam is expected to be handed over to the IDF later this year.
