Yaron Blum hosts senior officials for a conversation about behind the scenes of the security system in the Israel Hayom "highly classified" security podcast. This week: Col. Moshe Fatal, head of the Wall Directorate in the Ministry of Defense.
In 1991, in order to deal with the threats coming from Iraq, a Wall Directorate was established that operates under MPAAT, the Administration for Military Development Research and Technological Infrastructure.
The Wall Directorate is responsible for all military and technological research, research and development of the defense system.
The directorate is responsible for the development, production and delivery of technologies to the Air Force, including all stages, the execution of experiments and ongoing work with the American partners.

"First of all, let's start with the threats," says Fatal in a conversation with Blum in which he seeks to put an order in the threats to Israel and our layers of defense on the other hand.
"We, to our great regret, are in a not the most pleasant environment. We have neighbors who know how to launch threats of all kinds at us. The war of iron swords proved that there are also ballistic threats, aerial threats, rocket threats, and precise threats, of different types."
"When you look at our entire environment, both from the north, from the east, and from the sea, we need to be prepared 360 degrees in the defense of the State of Israel, in every layer possible, and I will soon build all the layers, and what their role is."
"In the lower layer we have the Iron Dome, in the future the ground laser will also be captured, which will also be part of the Iron Dome system. It is in the very advanced stages of finishing development and starting export. It is intended for rockets. It is intended for the short-range rockets, to assist Iron Dome in the ongoing effort, And in fact it will be part of the Iron Dome system. The control and control system of the Iron Dome will also professionally manage the effector of the laser - this is the bottom layer that actually deals with short-term threats, with rockets, with medium threats, threats of various types."
"To date, we have over 6,000 operational interceptions in the Iron Dome system. During this war, it has a hit rate of almost 90%. We have done many demonstrations for both the US Army and the Marines, who are going to purchase systems in the future. We continue to develop the system for the future We are in an effort to be a supreme creature of an iron dome, both in Israel and in the United States."
