Israel will soon be able to deploy a laser-based missile interception system, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett announced yesterday.
“In about a year, the Israeli military will deploy a laser-based (missile) interception system, initially as a trial and afterward operationally,” Bennett told the annual conference of the Institute for National Security Studies.
The system will first be installed in southern Israel, where communities have been repeatedly attacked by rockets fired from the Gaza Strip.
It will then be deployed in other parts of the territory, the Israeli Prime Minister said. “This will allow us to gradually cover Israel with a wall of lasers that will protect us from missiles, rockets, UAVs, and other threats,” Bennett continued, pointing out that this “will essentially cancel the strongest card the enemy holds against us”.
The laser system will be the latest addition to Israel’s multi-layered defence ‘wall’, which consists of three missile systems: the Iron Dome for short- and intermediate-range missiles, David’s Sling for intermediate- to long-range missiles, and the Arrow for long-range missiles.
