JERSUALEM — During the recent twelve-day conflict with Iran, Israel broke out new defense technologies, including the first Israeli operational use of the Barak air defense systems as well as the first public disclosure about an Israeli Defense Forces unit that uses electromagnetic spectrum defenses to counter drones.
Israel’s war with Iran came about after more than 600 days of a multi-front conflict that began on Oct. 7, 2023 when Hamas attacked Israel. The long war has provided Israel ample time to prepare for the kinds of threats that Iran had in store for Israel.
