Israel to have partial laser defenses by next year - Rafael chair

Israel will have partial laser defenses by this time next year, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems chairman Yuval Steinitz told Army Radio on Sunday.

"One year from now — Israel will be the first country to have partial laser protection. In two years there may be complete protection — against missiles, shells, rockets, or anything else. This will protect us both in the South and in the North," said Steinitz.
