On May 10, the David’s Sling air defence system intercepted a long-range rocket, the first time it was used to defend Israeli citizens. Israel’s newest air defence system intercepted a long-range rocket launched from Gaza above Tel Aviv. Israeli manufacturer Rafael posted a tweet declaring that the David’s Sling system was “Officially Combat Proven”. However, the introduction of the new Israeli air defence system comes amid multiple technical faults reported in the Iron Dome air defence system. The Israeli Defence Forces said an Iron Dome interceptor missile suffered a “technical fault” on May 11, missing a rocket launched from the Gaza Strip. In another incident, a technical issue in an Iron Dome system kept it from activating during a flareup with Islamic Jihad earlier this month. This led to several rockets landing in populated areas, including one that hit a construction site in Sderot, injuring three foreign nationals. Watch this video to know more.
