Iron Dome to be deployed in southern Israel after latest Gaza rockets
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Iron Dome air defense system will be deployed to the Beersheba area shortly, Israel’s deputy defense ministry says, after Palestinian terrorists in the Gaza Strip launched a rocket that hit a home inside the city, causing damage but no injuries.
“An Iron Dome battery will be set up in the Beersheba area in the coming days, perhaps even tonight,” says deputy minister Eli Ben Dahan in the Knesset.
Ben Dahan was responding to a question about the IDF Home Front Command’s preparedness for war in the south.
