Israel is preparing to expand its Iron Beam laser defense system by the end of 2026.
Developed by Israeli defense company Rafael, the system uses high-powered lasers to shoot down incoming rockets, drones, and mortars at a fraction of the cost of traditional missile interceptors.
With continued threats from the Islamic Republic and Hezbollah, Israel is building additional Iron Beam systems to operate alongside Iron Dome.
The technology could significantly reduce the cost of intercepting aerial threats while strengthening Israel’s ability to protect its civilians.
