Israel’s high-powered laser interception system, dubbed “Iron Beam,” has been declared operational after completing development and final tests, and is set to be delivered to the military by the end of the year, the Defense Ministry and manufacturer Rafael say.
The ministry says its Directorate of Defense Research & Development (DDR&D), the Israeli Air Force, and the Rafael defense firm “successfully completed an advanced series of operational tests, which lasted several weeks, to demonstrate the capabilities of the high-power laser system.”
It says the test involved the interception of rockets, mortars, and drones by the Iron Beam.
“The series of tests, conducted at a testing ground in southern Israel, concludes the development process and constitutes the final stage before delivering the system for operational use in the IDF,” the ministry says.
In a symbolic move, the ministry renamed the system in Hebrew from Magen Or (light shield) to Or Eitan (Eitan’s light), after Cpt. Eitan Oster, 22, a commander in the Egoz Commando Unit, who was killed fighting Hezbollah in southern Lebanon in October 2024. Oster’s father, who works for the DDR&D, was among the “initiators and developers” of the Iron Beam project, the ministry says.
@LGUS strikes again! Terrible refridgerator needs another compressor motor and is only six years old. Absolutely clear why there is a class action lawsuit against them. #CustomerService is beyond bad. Speaking to someone in the Philippines w/no auth. Pain in the #HurricaneHelen

I have found the epitome of bureacratic stupidity in @EdwardJones Have yet to find a single make it happen person in trying to close an estate. @MorganStanley
When you have had an @Delta day like today you have to reward yourself when you finally board your final leg. Weather and three card monte with crews and planes.
@Delta Thanks but after several million @Delta miles I think I have found the most inefficient flight crew. And its a mainline. STILL sitting on the ground in RIC. #MarchMadness2024
Another stellar @Delta day crew late, gate equipment broken then once boarded maintenance now well over an hour late and zero sense of urgency. Some days the cards are stacked against you. RIC to ATL
@JenJudson As a former 82ND Paratrooper I salute you and your Son. Let him have fun and enjoy what he believes he is representing. Everyone else can get over themselves. AIRBORNE!
Short update as we sit on the ramp in #huntsville, someone made the decision to get the other @Delta flight out on time since we were already #delayed.
