On Friday night, Iran fired many ballistic missiles at Israel. Some reports suggest that a few missiles hit Tel Aviv, although the Israeli military stated they stopped most of them. However, some buildings were damaged, and hospitals in Tel Aviv are treating 15 civilians who were hurt. This attack challenges Israel's air defense system, which has been intercepting rockets from various countries since the war began on October 7, 2023. The United States has helped shoot down Iranian missiles using ground-based systems. Still, Israel has handled most of the defense over the past year with its advanced system, which can detect incoming threats and deploy defenses when projectiles are heading towards populated or important areas. Israel's air defense has several layers: the Arrow for long-range missiles, David's Sling for medium-range missiles, and the Iron Dome for short-range rockets. Israel is also developing the Iron Beam, which uses laser technology to stop threats.
