Thread: Israel Installs "Iron Dome" Missile Defense Battery in Egyptian Border

Israel, in keeping with the foresight about her enemies that has helped her survive in a region that has sought to displace the Israelites from their ancestral homes since Day One, has placed one of their highly effective "Iron Dome" defensive missile bateries on its border with Egypt, in recognition of the emergence of her (Israel's) enemies ( the muslim brotherhood ), to rule their South Western neighbor:

Israel deploys missile system on Egypt border


The Israeli army has placed an Iron Dome air defence system battery by the Red Sea resort of Eilat near the border with Egypt, a statement from the military said on Thursday.

"An Iron Dome Active Missile Defence System battery is currently deployed near Eilat as part of its operational deployment programme, which includes changing the locations of the batteries from time to time," the statement read.

The deployment comes amid tensions in that area. Israeli authorities said that on June 17 two rockets fired from Egypt's Sinai Peninsula exploded in southern Israel. On April 5 a rocket fired from Sinai hit Eilat, causing no casualties.

Unrest in and around the Gaza Strip also flared up last month after a deadly cross-border attack from Sinai which left one Israeli civilian dead.

An Israeli defence official, speaking on condition of anonymity, stressed that the deployment "was not for operational ends, rather for preparation and acquaintance with the territory and calibration."

The official said the system has been in place since Monday, and that it was the first time the Iron Dome system has been deployed near the southern resort.

We see that Israel understands her OWN defensive imperatives, even as Obama seeks to befriend the muslim brotherhood...

I don't blame them. Egypt is going to heck in a handbasket and it wouldn't surprise me if a few neandermuslims didn't start lobbing junk rockets at them. The Qu'ran teaches them to hate Jews and even the rocks and trees will reveal Jews for them to kill.

Israel is like a bunch of people standing by the beach before a tsunami comes, holding umbrellas to protect themselves from the "splash". Every Israeli should be praying hard these days. They will need it.

Just what is this "tsunami?" The worthless Arab armies?

Uh-huh, right. Israel has heard such bullcrap before, and we see where THAT got "the tsunami", haven't we?

Israel is preparing to admininster another "pecking order" lesson to the islamist jihadists around her.

I just feel sorry for the women and children of the jihadists, who are ALWAYS SERVED UP AS HUMAN SHEILDS by the "brave warriors" of the bloodthirsty,pedophile mayor of Medina...

Pretty much. One of those Arabs could get their hands on WMD's. I feel like it's inevitable.

The Arabs will be extremely lucky to not kill themselves with WMD.

The best Russian tanks and planes didn't help. You think iffy Iranian WMD will help?

Wasn't Iron Dome a James Bond movie?...

New Israeli anti-missile system gets ready
Nov. 16 (UPI) -- While Israeli forces battle a growing Palestinian missile onslaught from the Gaza Strip, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems is getting ready to field test its newest anti-missile weapon, David's Sling and its Stunner interceptor.

Once David's Sling, also known as Magic Wand, becomes operational it will essentially complete a multi-tier missile defense shield that's been 20 years in the making. The two-stage system, with a radar and electro-optical guidance system, is designed to counter missiles with a range span of 25-185 miles. Rafael's other anti-missile system, Iron Dome, has been recently upgraded from countering short-range missiles and rockets to cover the same range of targets as David's Sling, will strengthen the growing missile threat to Israel from Iran, Syria and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Iron Dome, which got its baptism of fire in April 2011 against Soviet-era Grad rockets and indigenously produced Qassams, is currently engaged in battling longer-range, Iranian-built Fajr-5 missiles unleashed by Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip. It's the first time Hamas and other militant groups in Gaza have fired the Fajr-5 against Israel. It has a range of nearly 50 miles. That's enough to hit metropolitan Tel Aviv, Israel's largest urban conurbation with a population if around 3 million, 40 percent of the country's people.

But Hezbollah used them during its 34-day war with Israel in July-August 2006 and they hit as far south as the port city of Haifa, Israel's main naval base. Hezbollah called its enhanced variant of the Fajr-5, a road-mobile weapon built by Iran's Aerospace Industries Organization, the Khaibar-1. The Iron Dome 2.0, which extended range and more accurate interceptions capabilities, is being used to counter the Fajrs in the current escalating battle in war-battered Gaza.

David's Sling, developed by Rafael and the U.S. Raytheon Co., will fill the middle layer of Israel's emerging anti-missile shield. Iron Dome constitutes the bottom level. Raytheon developed the system's missile firing unit and overall logistics. Above David's Sling is the Arrow-2 anti-ballistic system, built by state-owned Israel Aerospace Industries and Boeing of the United States, is designed to destroy Iran's Shehab-3b intermediate-range missiles and the Sejjil-2 weapon still under development.

Let them have their Jew state.

If it is so great, the rest will not mind joining them, right, I mean, would you shed any tears, if Jews like Rahm Emmaneul, and Richard Pearle, were decanted to 'Israel'.

Then take all their toys away, since they cannot be trusted.

Then place them under international policing, until the learn some moral and values.

Israel has no interest in peace - proven by their deliberate sabotage of every effort made towards peace. What other possible explanation is there for this:

Hours before Hamas strongman Ahmed Jabari was assassinated, he received the draft of a permanent truce agreement with Israel, which included mechanisms for maintaining the cease-fire in the case of a flare-up between Israel and the factions in the Gaza Strip. This, according to Israeli peace activist Gershon Baskin, who helped mediate between Israel and Hamas in the deal to release Gilad Shalit and has since then maintained a relationship with Hamas leaders.

Baskin told Haaretz on Thursday that senior officials in Israel knew about his contacts with Hamas and Egyptian intelligence aimed at formulating the permanent truce, but nevertheless approved the assassination.

“I think that they have made a strategic mistake," Baskin said, an error "which will cost the lives of quite a number of innocent people on both sides."

"This blood could have been spared. Those who made the decision must be judged by the voters, but to my regret they will get more votes because of this,” he added.
