The high-tech Lotem unit on Wednesday gave a rare exhibition of technologies against rocket attacks — one of Israel’s main security fears.
The Lebanese militant group Hezbollah lobbed 4,000 rockets into Israel in 2006, and Hamas has launched thousands from Gaza. None had chemical warheads, but Israel claims neighboring states have them.
Another technology analyzes a rocket’s trajectory to estimate where it will land. It can override broadcasts to issue warnings. A system still being developed would send cell phone text messages to civilians in the line of fire.
Way to go, our so called allies are not really our allies. Got to do it on our own.
Your comment is out of place. This has nothing to do with having allies. We can and should do whatever it takes to protect ourselves regardless of our relationship with our allies.
