2nd Iron Dome battery deployed in Beersheba
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn Iron Dome anti-missile battery has been deployed beside the southern city of Beersheba as the IDF ups its level of preparedness in the face of threats from militant groups in the Gaza strip.
Another battery was positioned outside of Ashdod earlier in the day.
Militant organizations in the coastal strip, principal among them the Islamic Jihad group, have vowed to launch rocket attacks on Israel if any harm were to come to hunger-striking Palestinian prisoner Mohammed Allaan.
