Iron Dome successfully intercepts test drone
The Iron Dome missile defense system was successfully tested in intercepting unmanned aerial vehicles flying in both high and low altitudes.
A video released by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. shows the system destroying drones.
The threat of drones against Israel has in recent years become palpable, with Hezbollah making several attempts to fly drones into Israel. Hamas in the Gaza Strip also tried to fly UAVs into Israeli territory, but the aircraft either were intercepted before managing to fly deep into Israeli airspace or crashed inside the Gaza Strip.
