Israeli media are reporting that Israel's "Iron Beam" directed energy weapon has successfully intercepted a rocket fired at a target in Israel. The Iron Beam is a 100 kW high-energy laser capable of engaging missiles, rockets, artillery projectiles, and drones. The report comes from the military and security correspondent Israel's Channel 14 news.
If the reports are true, this would be the first-ever operational use of a directed-energy weapon and would mark a quantum shift in the missile vs. interceptor struggle that arguably began with Reagan's "Star Wars" speech in 1983.

Not long ago, the mockingbirds ridiculed those who mentioned "Jewish Space Lasers (tm)". Like all mil-tech, this has been operational for quite some time prior to its disclosure. Hmmmmm....
