Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe IDF says it will be deploying additional Iron Dome missile defense batteries in southern Israel and in the greater Tel Aviv area, following large-scale clashes with the Hamas terrorist group in the Gaza Strip over the weekend.
Reservists from air defense units are also being called up to provide additional manpower for these batteries, the military says.
“The IDF is determined to continue to defend Israel’s citizens and is prepared for a variety of scenarios,” the army says in a statement.
