Israel seeks defense industry support to enhance drone interception capabilities
Summary: Israel's government is seeking help from its defense industry to improve its ability to intercept drones, particularly those launched by Iran and Hezbollah. A competition has been announced for eight companies to develop new technologies.
The Defense Ministry plans to select several technologies for rapid development and production. This comes after Hezbollah's recent drone attack on Israeli forces, which resulted in casualties.
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant emphasized the need for quick operational solutions against the growing drone threat. Major defense firms, including Elbit Systems and Rafael, are involved in this initiative.
