The Israeli army announced the deployment of a naval version of the Iron Dome air defense system for the first time since the start of the war (in Gaza) in the port city of Eilat, located in the south of the occupied Palestinian territories.
The Israeli army announced that it has deployed a naval version of the Iron Dome air defense system, called C-Dome, to Eilat.
The move came after the Israeli army said late Monday that its navy had intercepted a “suspicious” air target in the skies over the city of Eilat off the Red Sea coast in the south of the occupied territories, Arabic television channel Sky News reported.
Avichai Adrei, a spokesman for the Israeli army, said: “Following warnings in Eilat about the penetration of hostile air targets, the question was raised about the possibility of intercepting such targets in the airspace over the Red Sea.”
The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronot also writes that the army of the occupation regime is using the Sea Dome for the first time during the current war.
According to this source, C-Dome is a ship-based air defense system for intercepting missiles, mortar shells and drones, which is designed to protect maritime infrastructure, gas platforms and other offshore objects.
