Israel
The Israeli air force has successfully tested an upgraded version of its “Iron Dome”
missile defence system, the Defence Ministry has said. This test constitutes a new
success in the project to strengthen the Iron Dome’s performance. Israel has
invested an enormous budget to finance the different missile defence systems that
should allow us to protect the whole of our territory within a few years. The first Iron
Dome battery was installed in March 2011 near Beersheva in the Negev desert
region, 40 km (25 miles) from the Gaza Strip, and has intercepted more than 100
rockets since then. Southern Israel is regularly targeted by rocket attacks from
Palestinian Hamas-controlled Gaza, to which it often responds with air raids. The
Iron Dome system is developed by Rafael Advanced Defence Systems, a public
arms company based in the northern town of Haifa, and part-funded by the US. The
Israeli missile defence programme includes other systems, including Arrow, which
is for ballistic missiles, and David’s Sling, for medium-range attacks.
