Israel has a complex weapons system to protect the county from drones and missiles attacks.
As Iran launched a large wave of attack drones and missiles toward Israel on Saturday, the Israeli military was tracking and preparing to intercept the weapons in the first-ever direct attack on Israel by the Islamic Republic, the Times of Israel reported.
Earlier Saturday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel had for weeks « been preparing for the possibility of a direct attack from Iran. »
Netanyahu said Israel’s « air defenses are deployed, we are ready for any scenario, both in attack and in defense. »
Israel’s missile defense system includes a complex range of weapons to protect and defend its country.
« Israel has a multilayered air defense system consisting of the Iron Dome, David’s Sling and the Arrow as well as other undisclosed assets. It will likely also get ballistic missile support defense from the United States, as the two militaries have been training on for years, » said Mark Dubowitz, CEO of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
