💨 Abstract

Israel retaliated against Iranian nuclear sites, killing top generals. Iran responded with a missile barrage, targeting Tel Aviv, injuring 15. Israel's multilayered air-defense system, developed with U.S. support, intercepted the majority of the missiles. The system includes Arrow for long-range, David’s Sling for medium-range, and Iron Dome for short-range threats. Israel is also working on a laser-based system, Iron Beam, to reduce operational costs.
