Overview of Israel's Multi-Layered Air Defence Systems Against Missile Threats

Israel employs a multi-layered air defence system to counter threats from Iranian missiles and other aerial attacks. Key components include the long-range Arrow-2 and Arrow-3 interceptors, the mid-range David's Sling system, and the short-range Iron Dome, which targets rockets and drones. Recently operational, the Iron Beam is a laser-based system designed to destroy smaller threats with directed-energy technology, offering rapid response and cost efficiency. These systems collectively protect Israeli territory from various missile and drone threats.
