The Israeli Air Force will bid farewell to its aging Patriot air defense systems in the coming months, replacing the batteries with more advanced air defenses, the military says.
In February, the IAF said it was in the process of closing several Patriot batteries, and its staff would be trained to operate on the Iron Dome instead.
According to an article published today on the Israeli military website, the Patriot array — known in the IAF as Yahalom, Hebrew for “diamond” — will be shuttered for good within two months.
