Despite of the countless attacks it has faced from all sides, Israel has never failed to protect its citizens from any imminent danger. Since its formation, Israel has faced multi-front threats from Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthi rebels, and even Iran, but every time the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have protected the residents of Israel. In the most recent defence, IDF have announced the deployment of a new unnamed laser defence system, which is laser defence system similar to Iron Beam.
As per a report by the Jerusalem Post, the Israeli Defence Ministry has said that Israel's Rafael Advanced Defence Systems has created the world's advanced laser system called Iron Beam and Laser Defence System.

Colorado firebomb suspect planned attack on pro-Israeli protesters for a year, says official
Boulder attack suspect Mohamed Sabry Soliman confronting with the crowd. The man suspected of an attack on pro-Israeli protesters in Colorado, who is facing federal hate crime charges, had planned the attack for a year, according to the the official. Mohammed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national staying in the US even after his visa expired, has allegedly thrown the fire bombs and sprayed burning gasoline at a group of people who had gathered on Sunday in support of Israeli hostages held by Hamas, injuring 12 people. J Bishop Grewell, acting US Attorney for the District of Colorado, told reporters the 45-year-old suspect had been planning the attack for a year. Soliman attacked a group of elderly protesters with "Molotov cocktails at a group of men and women, some of them in their late 80s, burning them as they peacefully walked on a Sunday to draw attention to Israeli hostages held in Gaza." "When he was interviewed about the attack, he said he wanted them all to die. He had no regrets, and he would go back and do it again." During questioning, Soliman revealed his unsuccessful attempt to purchase a firearm, which was prevented due to his non-US citizenship status.' Responding officers discovered 16 unused Molotov cocktails at the scene, along with a backpack weed sprayer containing petrol, which authorities believe was intended as an improvised flamethrower. The accused faces potential life imprisonment under federal hate crime charges, alongside state attempted murder charges that could result in centuries of incarceration. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo US President Trump criticised Joe Biden regarding the incident.

He attributed the incident to "Biden's ridiculous Open Border Policy" for Soliman's entry. "This is yet another example of why we must keep our Borders SECURE, and deport Illegal, Anti-American Radicals from our Homeland," he stated. Marco Rubio, his Secretary of State, issued a stern warning. "All terrorists, their family members, and terrorist sympathizers here on a visa should know that under the Trump Administration we will find you, revoke your visa, and deport you," he posted on social media.

From The Hindu, June 3, 1975: Troop cut on Suez front: Israel's peace gesture to Egypt
Jerusalem, June 2: Israel announced to-day that it was reducing its tank, firepower and troop strength along the Suez Canal as a gesture of peace towards Egypt for the reopening of the waterway. Half of Israel's tanks in the front line zone would be withdrawn to at least about 29 km from the canal, and all artillery pieces would be pulled back 31 km from the shipping canal. All missiles except anti-tank missiles would be moved behind a line 39 km from the canal, and 3,500 men — half of Israel's front line troops — would withdraw from the limited arms region east of the UN buffer zone. The Israeli Premier, Mr. Yitzhak Rabin, who made this announcement at a news conference here, said that his country hoped this would 'bring home to the world, and to Egypt, the fact that Israel really wants peace.' He assured the maritime nations that the Israeli army would not obstruct their ships sailing through the canal. The armaments would be withdrawn before the date of the reopening. Egypt has announced that it will open the canal on Thursday, the eighth anniversary of the West Asia war that brought about its closure. Today's decision was an abrupt turnaround for the Israeli Government, which only a day earlier had ruled out any such gesture before the results of the talks between the Egyptian President, Mr. Anwar Sadat and the U.S. President Mr. Gerald Ford became known to Israel.
