Iron Dome
Israel has successfully tested a new missile defense system called “Iron Dome.” An official with the Israeli Defense Ministry said the system could be operational within a year.
I find it amazing that the Israeli government budgeted for this system in February 2008 and it will be ready by March 2010.
The Israelis also have a weapon that can stop a rocket propelled grenade (RPG) in mid-flight. I have seen a video of this weapon and it is amazing. These weapons boost my confidence that the Israelis may also have other secret weapons we do not know about.
Iron Dome will be primarily deployed in the western Negev desert region to protect the town of Sderot bordering on the Gaza Strip and in northern Israel to protect that region from Hizbullah rockets fired from southern Lebanon. The $210 million system could be deployed against rockets with a range of up to 70 kilometres.
I would like remind my readers that we should pray for peace for Israel and Jerusalem and pray that God opens the eyes of the Jewish and Arab peoples to the truth of Yeshua.
