Israel's Multi-Layered Missile Defense: A Shield Against Regional Threats

In response to regional threats, Israel has developed a multi-tiered missile defense system. This includes the long-range Arrow interceptors, the mid-range David's Sling, and the short-range Iron Dome, forming a robust shield against potential missile attacks.

Israel's defenses have been bolstered with U.S. support, including the deployment of advanced systems like THAAD. Most recently, the Arrow system was utilized in the ongoing conflict with Hamas, demonstrating its effectiveness in protecting Israeli territory.

Efforts continue with the development of a laser-based interception system, aiming to cut costs significantly while maintaining high security standards. These measures ensure preparedness against conventional and novel threats from Israel's adversaries.
