IDF Lt.’s ‘O’ and ‘N’ tell Post of defensive units on Northern, Southern fronts
Of those who invented the Iron Dome, he said that they are “geniuses” and that “these are not muscle guys here,” he said pointing at his arms.
The IDF reported responding to two separate threats originating from within Lebanon on Friday.
REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK: All it takes is a short break in the nasty weather to create a sense of danger and foreboding in significant portions of the North.
The IDF aims to cancel the reduction in service length, establish an intelligence command for the Gaza Strip, and invest in an aerial and ground laser system.
The Iron Dome air defense system has intercepted more than 2,000 rockets and mortars since the Hamas attack on October 7. Here are the men and women who make the system hum every day.
It's still unclear the scope of Hamas's defeat as more information comes out.
The system does not use any explosives but rather relies purely on the damage done by interception. The Arrow 2, by contrast, carries a warhead that destroys the missile using an explosive charge.
The IDF said that to date 12% of Hamas rockets, or around 900, have fallen in Gaza.
The Iron Dome received the Israel Defense Prize in 2012 and in recognition of his work, Gold was invited to light a torch in the 2015 annual Independence Day ceremony.
