IDF Receives First Iron Beam Laser System - Israel
December 28, 2025, Northern District, Israel: Following a complex development process, the Israel Ministry of Defense (IMOD) Directorate of Defense Research & Development (DDR&D) and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems delivered the first Iron Beam laser system to the IDF at an official ceremony held at Rafael's headquarters in northern Israel. The system, which proved its effectiveness in an extensive series of tests against various threats and successfully intercepted rockets, mortars, and UAVs, will be integrated into the IAF and incorporated into Israel's multi layered aerial defense array as a complementary capability to the Iron Dome, David's Sling, and Arrow systems.

An agile humanoid robot has demonstrated its autonomous reflexes — by dodging a rubber topped arrow fired at it from just a few metres away.
has released a new YouTube video showcasing the latest development of its humanoid,
The MagicBot Z1 was also shown performing a backflip and doing martial arts kicks.
The Z1, by Chinese robotics company MagicLab , is 140cm tall and weighs 40 kgs.
It is designed for industrial, commercial, and companion applications.
Its body boasts 50 degrees of freedom with high-torque smart joints.
It is equipped with a comprehensive sensor array, including 3D LiDAR, obstacle detection, depth cameras, and binocular fisheye vision.
In a demonstration, an employee fires the arrow at the bot which spins and dodges the toy-like arrow with a side flip before landing elegantly back on its feet.
With voice interaction, refined gesture-based emotional recognition, and optional 11-DOF dexterous hands, the Z1 is claimed to deliver highly natural human-robot interaction and precise manipulation across a wide range of environments.
The robot can carry up to 3kg on each arm and has already been deployed as part of their testing and development to handle tasks like inspection, material handling, picking, placing, scanning, and warehousing.
There are no details yet on when they will be available for sale or pricing.

Arrow Hetz Missile
EXCLUSIVE:
August 16th, 2010, Palmachim, Israel: The Arrow or Hetz is a family of anti-ballistic missiles designed to fulfill an Israeli requirement for a missile defense system that would be more effective against ballistic missiles than the MIM-104 Patriot surface-to-air missile. Jointly funded and produced by Israel and the United States, development of the system began in 1986 and has continued since, drawing some contested criticism. Undertaken by the MALAM division of the Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and Boeing, it is overseen by the Israeli Ministry of Defense's "Homa" administration and the U.S. Missile Defense Agency. It forms the long-range layer of Israel's multi-tiered missile defence system, along with David's Sling (at medium-to-long range) and Iron Dome and Iron Beam (at short ranges).
