[Arutz 7] - Police have developed a laser-based defense system, similar in essence to the Iron Dome system and intended to thwart incendiary balloons and drones launched from Gaza toward Israel, Yisrael Hayom reported.

The laser system is known as the "Light Blade", and police say it is the first in the world to demonstrate operational capability to blast balloons and drones.

The balloons and kite threat from Gaza that sparked fires in the south and hilly localities and that have the capability to carry payloads and other explosive devices, led the Border Patrol and the Police Means Development Department - in collaboration with the Optidefence company to develop this system that recently demonstrated operational ability to intercept.

#14  Hmmm, find some small rocks in Near Earth passes and guide them down to spots on Earth. It will be the will of Allah if a lot of goat fuckers die when they hit.

#6  Further, I'd way the drones don't need lasers, just a big, sharp knife...

#5  Although if the lasers can pick off the balloons about 20-ft above the ground where they were launched from

From an aerostat or a fleet of long-loiter drones, no problem...
