Watch: Israel's Iron Beam Achieves First Mid-Air Rocket Interception Amid Hezbollah Attacks

• Israel deployed its Iron Beam laser system for the first-ever mid-air rocket interception during Hezbollah's recent strikes.
• The interception occurred amidst intensified Hezbollah attacks following the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
• Iron Beam is a laser-based 'game-changer' designed to neutralize smaller aerial threats like rockets, drones, and mortars cost-effectively.
• It complements Israel's existing layered air defense, including the Iron Dome, which uses kinetic interceptors for short-range threats.
• The technology has limitations in poor visibility conditions such as heavy cloud cover or dust storms.
