Why did the Zionists resort to the “magic wand”?
In recent days, the issue of the activation of the Flakhan Dawood missile defense system to counter the rockets of the Palestinian resistance during the five-day war against Gaza has raised many questions and ambiguities.
To counter the rocket and missile attacks of the Palestinian resistance, the Zionist regime always uses the “Iron Dome” missile defense system, a system that the Zionists claim has been extremely capable of countering the resistance’s missile operations from Gaza.
However, the activation of the Flakhan Dawood missile system for the first time in the history of military confrontations between the Zionist regime army and the Gaza Strip has attracted the attention of military experts in the region. During the recent five-day war, the Israeli army announced that it had activated the Flakhan Dawood missile system in response to a rocket launched from Gaza towards Tel Aviv.
This is the first time that this missile system has been used against the Palestinian resistance since the deployment of Flakhan Dawood in 2017 by the Zionist army. During the last 12 years, the Zionist regime had always used the Iron Dome system against the Palestinian resistance’s rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip. In this report, we intend to examine the reason for its activation in the recent missile conflict with Gaza by enumerating the features of the Flakhan Dawood missile defense system.
Getting to know the missile defense systems of the Zionist regime
The Flakhan Dawood missile system, also known as the magic wand, is one of the four missile systems that the Zionist regime uses to maintain the security of its airspace. The Iron Dome missile system is used to counter short-range missiles up to a useful range of 70 kilometers. Aro 2 and Aro 3 missile systems (Arrow 2 and 3) are also used by the Zionist army to deal with long-range, ballistic and intercontinental missiles, as well as advanced fighters, threats that do not include the peripheral areas of the Zionist regime and mostly due to the concern of The threat of Iran’s attack has entered the operational phase.
