An Israeli missile launched from the Iron Dome missile defense system attempts to intercept a rocket fired from the Gaza Strip, over Netivot in southern Israel on October 8, 2023. Amid the Hamas-Israel escalation, videos claiming to show Israel’s new Iron Beam directed-energy weapon air defense system in action have become viral across various social media platforms.
“Preliminarily, the video shows the work of the newest Israeli laser air defense system ‘Iron Beam.’ The laser shoots down aerial targets. Air defense of the future,” Jenya zub LIVE NEWS posted on October 15.Some social media users noted a diagonal beam of light that flashed across the screen at the time of interception. The beam appeared to cut through two points of light in the sky.
Iron Beam is expected to complement, not replace, Iron Dome and other elements of Israel’s air defenses. Iron Beam also has its advantages. It can be integrated with a variety of systems and platforms and is expected to limit collateral damage. While science fiction films portray laser weapons with distinctive sound and visual effects, most laser beams used in defense applications"The beam was just shown as a visible aid, otherwise the clip would basically show nothing, but the beam itself … is not visible to the naked eye,” Aurora Intel, an open-source intelligence account on X that focuses on the Israeli theater of conflict, told Polygraph.info in a written comment.
