Israel has carried out major attacks in Lebanon, the stronghold of its traditional enemy Hezbollah. At least 500 people are reported to have been killed in these attacks. It is being said that Israel's defense shield Iron Dome is also involved in these attacks, which foils the attacks carried out by Hezbollah. It is also being speculated that the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad is behind these attacks, which recently exploded pagers, walkie-talkies and solar plants in Lebanon. This created a fireworks-like situation in the whole of Lebanon. Let us know about those exploits of Mossad and Israeli Iron Dome, which wreaked havoc in the whole of Lebanon. But before that, let us know the story of Operation Entebbe, which was successfully carried out by a joint operation of the Israeli army and Mossad.
Terrorists were killed within a week in Operation Entebbe
On 27 June 1976, two members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, along with two Germans, hijacked a plane going to Paris and then took it to Uganda. This plane had taken off from Tel Aviv, the capital of Israel, to Athens, the capital of Greece. Apart from 246 passengers, there were 12 crew members on board this flight. However, the people on board the plane did not know that they were going to get into a big trouble. The hijackers had taken the passengers and crew hostage at Entebbe Airport in Uganda. Mossad and the Israeli Defense Forces i.e. IDF rescued the hostages from the clutches of the terrorists within a week and killed the terrorists.

When 200 Israeli Mossad and army agents took over
At that time, 200 brave commandos of the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad and the army took charge. One of their agents took pictures of the airport from the plane. After this the operation was carried out. A week later, Israeli commandos attacked the airport and rescued 100 Israeli and Jewish hostages. Apart from three hostages, several Ugandan soldiers and prominent commando Yonatan Netanyahu (brother of Israel's current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu) died in this operation. This Entebbe operation is also called Operation Thunderbolt, for which Mossad provided intelligence, while the Israeli army took command of this operation.

Mossad identified 1600 targets and then completed the job
It is being said that Israel's intelligence agency Mossad had identified 1600 locations across Lebanon to eliminate Israel's enemies. There was strong news of Hezbollah fighters hiding at these places. Then these inputs were given to the Israeli army, which attacked with missiles. During this, the Iron Dome system was also active, which foiled Hezbollah's attacks. Along with this, Hezbollah's rockets were destroyed. About 500 people were killed in these attacks carried out with 300 missiles, while more than 1600 people are reported to have been killed.
What is the Iron Dome and how does it work?
The Iron Dome is designed to protect against short-range weapons. It works in all weather conditions. It tracks rockets using radar. It can identify rockets that are about to fall on Israel. Interceptor missiles are fired only at rockets that attack populated areas. The system is fitted with a battery, which has three to four launchers. They can fire 20 interceptor missiles simultaneously. The system has both stationary and mobile versions. That is, it can be pulled in a truck and taken anywhere. It fires 20 missiles simultaneously in 10 seconds.
When was the Iron Dome first used?
The Iron Dome was developed following a conflict between Israel and the southern Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah in 2006. Hezbollah fired thousands of rockets at Israel, causing heavy damage and killing dozens of civilians. In response, Israel began developing a new missile defense shield. This is where Israel developed its own defense shield, the Iron Dome system. The Iron Dome was built by Israeli firms Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries with some US cooperation.
How did the Iron Dome come into being and where was it first used?
The Iron Dome was specifically designed to deal with low-level weapons such as rockets fired from Gaza. The system was first used in combat in 2011. It then shot down a missile fired from the Gaza Strip, which has been under Hamas control since 2007.
The Iron Dome is equipped with three types of systems
Iron Dome has three main systems that work together to provide a protective shield over its deployment area.
- Radar: It has detection and tracking radar to detect any threat.
- Weapon Control: It has battle management and weapon control system (BMC).
- Missile Fire: It also has a missile firing unit. The BMC basically establishes the connection between the radar and the interceptor missile.
Iron Dome is 90 percent accurate and effective
The Israeli military claims a 90% success rate in hitting the Iron Dome. Hamas said it fired 5,000 rockets at Israel on the first day of the attack. However, rockets attempting to hit the Iron Dome were fired shortly after. The Israeli military said Israel had fired more than 8,000 rockets since October 7. Some rockets missed the Iron Dome and fell on construction areas, killing several people and injuring many more.
Iron Dome will be strengthened by America's battery and THOD
The US has given Israel two powerful Iron Dome batteries, which make the action of the Iron Dome more effective without being stopped. It will also soon give a battery of Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missiles and a battery of Patriot missiles.
More than 5 thousand injured in pager and walkie-talkie explosions
After the pager blasts in Lebanon, there have been explosions in walkie-talkies and solar plants as well. So far more than 32 people have been killed and more than 5,000 people have been injured in these attacks. Most of these are fighters of the terrorist group Hezbollah, who use walkie-talkies for communication.

India's S-400 is also like Iron Dome
India has the S-400 TRIUMF system, which is capable of dealing with three threats like rockets, missiles and cruise missiles, but their range is very long. It has a huge air defense shield to deal with the threats. It is a surface-to-air mobile missile system designed by Russia. Its range is 400 kilometers and it can hit all types of air targets at an altitude of 30 kilometers within the range. This system can track 100 air targets simultaneously and can target 6 of them simultaneously.
