@aviationmafia: Israel has reportedly employed its laser-based air defense system to intercept rockets launched from Lebanon, marking a notable evolution in short-range missile defense technology. Often referred to as the “Laser Dome”, officially known as Iron Beam (Or Eitan), the high-energy laser system is designed to neutralize rockets, mortars, and drones at the speed of light. According to reports, the system successfully intercepted incoming projectiles, demonstrating its operational potential alongside Israel’s existing layered air defense network.
