(ANSAmed) - TEL AVIV, JANUARY 03 - Israel completed the supply to the US armed forces of two Iron Dome air defense batteries. This was announced by the Israeli defense minister.
The deal was signed in 2019 and the first battery was delivered as early as September. Israel uses the Iron Dome system in particular to intercept raid attacks from Gaza to the south of the country or, more rarely, from the Syrian territory to the north.
Its air defenses also include the David'd Sling, Arrow-2 and Arrow-3 systems. The supply of the Iron Domes to the United States, said Defense Minister Benny Gantz, "shows once again how close our relations are". (ANSAmed).
