Occupation troops create aerospace unit
The Israeli Defense Forces announced the establishment of a special space brigade aimed at enhancing military dominance and developing surveillance and targeting capabilities from space orbit, in response to threats from Iran and neighboring regions. This comes after the launch of the "Dor 1" satellite in July 2025, which strengthens early reconnaissance capabilities for missile launches and high-resolution space imagery. The initiative includes the development of intercept and offensive defensive missile systems operating from space, such as the "Hets 5" platform, to counter ballistic attacks from both nearby and distant fronts. Military leaders have been appointed to manage the new brigade, and this step is part of an expanded security strategy to bolster technological and intelligence superiority. Officials see it as a sign of the shifting role of space into an important battlefield in future conflicts, with broad political support for this approach, which is described as a local version of "Star Wars."
