Israel Downs Enemy Drones with Laser Weapon in Combat
Imagine a superhero with a super-powered laser gun!
Israel now has one that shoots down enemy drones.
This laser weapon, made by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, uses a strong beam of light to destroy them.
It's like using a super-hot magnifying glass on a tiny target, making it burn and fall.
It was tested during the current war in Gaza and worked really well, shooting down at least three drones.
This new laser weapon can help save lives and protect important places.
It's also a cheaper way to fight off drones compared to using expensive missiles.
Soon, it might be combined with a larger system called Iron Beam, which will protect even more of Israel.
Israel has successfully used a laser weapon to shoot down enemy drones.
The laser weapon was developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems.
The system was deployed during the 'Swords of Iron' war in Gaza.
Video footage shows the laser intercepting and downing at least three drones.
The laser system may be integrated with the Iron Beam platform.
