The Israelis, who have a strong sense of crisis, have spared no effort in the construction of air defense systems. The "long-, medium, and near-range" air defense missiles in the hands of the Israeli air defense units include the domestically produced "David Sling" air defense system, the "Arrow" air defense missile, and the US-made "Patriot" PAC-2/3 air defense missile. The Israeli military prides itself on its "rocket buster", the Iron Dome short-range air defense system, which is designed to intercept rockets from Palestinian militant groups and Lebanese armed forces, and can respond to large-scale rocket saturation attacks.
Before the missile war with Iran, Israel's main air defense threat was Hamas-armed rockets. As a result, the Israeli military has deployed "Iron Dome" air defense positions around key points in cities and key facilities. Since the above-mentioned two threatening opponents lack aerial reconnaissance means, idle personnel in the vicinity of the positions of the "Iron Dome" system cannot get close to them, so as to avoid the opportunity for the opponent to sneak attack the "Iron Dome" air defense system due to the leakage of intelligence information.
After the conflict in Gaza and this military confrontation with Iran, Israel has placed greater emphasis on the secrecy of the location of the Iron Dome air defense system. Because, the Lebanese armed forces now have a large number of long-range attack drones and large-caliber precision strike rockets. Once intelligence is leaked, it will be very difficult for the "Iron Dome" air defense system to avoid air raids. A few days ago, in Israeli-controlled areas of southern Lebanon, Lebanese armed forces first used suicide drones to deceive Israeli air defense radars, and then used large-caliber rockets to destroy a position of the Israeli "Iron Dome" air defense system. This is the first time in history that the Iron Dome air defense system has been destroyed by the enemy.
However, to the shame of the Israeli military, it is difficult to guard against thieves. An Israeli soldier took advantage of his position to take a large number of photographs of the Iron Dome system, which eventually ended up in the hands of the Iranians. Israel's public broadcaster reported that an Israeli military member took photos of the deployment of the Iron Dome air defense system in dozens of locations and sent the photos to his online girlfriend he met on Facebook, who was actually an agent for Iran's intelligence services.
Iranian agents probably did not expect such important classified information to "come by without any effort". But from the side, you can see how flawed the Israeli army's secrecy measures are. First, it is illegal to photograph military installations without permission, and second, it is a basic common sense that military personnel of any country know that military secrets must not be disseminated to the outside world. The most ridiculous thing is that the Israeli military only punished the Israeli soldier with a "sentence of 10 days in prison".
