Israel is expected to begin operational deployment of the Arrow 4 missile defense system in the coming months, a move that could significantly upgrade its ability to counter aerial threats, Israel Aerospace Industries CEO Boaz Levy said Tuesday.

Speaking at the Defense Tech conference at Expo Tel Aviv, Levy said the new system would boost Israel’s interception success rates and provide advanced capabilities against emerging threats, particularly from Iran.

“Israel Aerospace Industries develops new capabilities every day, and we are working to bring them to operational readiness,” Levy said. “The entry of the Arrow 4 system into operational service will increase Israel’s interception success.”
