Former Defense Minister and Chairman of the Yisrael Beyteinu Party, MK Avigdor Liberman addressed the breakthrough in the development of Israeli laser weapons.

"I congratulate the defense establishment on developing a laser system for intercepting rocket launches and anti-aircraft missiles, a project approved during my tenure as defense minister. I am glad that the development of the system was done quickly and efficiently and that the project was not "buried" like the Northern Protection Program I initiated, which was frozen when I resigned as Minister of Defense, "Liberman wrote on Twitter.
