The Ministry of Defense and Rafael have completed a series of experiments on the defense system based on an advanced version of the "Iron Dome", which was first activated on a Saar 6 ship.

DM Gantz said, "I congratulate Mapat, the IDF and Rafael on completing the unprecedented experiment. The multilayered technology we are developing in the defense system in the state of Israel allows us vital freedom of movement against Iranian proxies in the region and the means in their possession, which are improving."
