    Israel has successfully completed a series of tests involving a laser-based missile interception system. During the tests, which were carried out over the past several weeks in southern Israel, the system accurately intercepted unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV's), mortars, rockets and anti-tank missiles in different scenarios.

    «We're at a historic moment in the world of weaponry," said Brig. Gen. Yaniv Rotem, head of the Defense Ministry’s weapons development administration, which developed the system alongside Rafael and Elbit. «For the first time, an energy weapon actually works."

    Estimates are that the system, named «Light Shield," will become operational years from now. However, a battery may be deployed on the Gaza border toward the end of the year to study its capabilities and make improvements if necessary.

    Laser-based interception is silent and invisible, and the cost is less than 10 shekels (about $3.50) per interception, in contrast to the Iron Dome, which costs about 170,000 shekels ($49,000) per interception and makes noise on launch, Haaretz reported.
