Israel sent Iron Dome system, IDF team to UAE during recent Iran war
The deployment marked the first time Israel sent an Iron Dome battery abroad, and it intercepted dozens of Iranian missiles, officials said.
- Following a call with UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the Israel Defense Forces to deploy an Iron Dome battery and troops to the United Arab Emirates early in the Iran war.
- The Abraham Accords, signed in September 2020, established diplomatic ties between Israel and the UAE and enabled rising military cooperation. This partnership deepened during the recent Iran war, allowing Israel to rapidly provide critical air defense support.
- Iran fired around 560 ballistic and cruise missiles and more than 2,250 drones at the UAE during the conflict. The Iron Dome system intercepted dozens of these projectiles, though some penetrated the defense shield and struck military and civilian targets.
- A senior Emirati official told Axios that Israel's assistance came at a crucial moment: "We are not going to forget it." Another official described the support as an "eye-opening moment" for identifying the nation's true allies.
- This deployment represents the first time Israel sent the Iron Dome system abroad, marking a significant precedent for international reliance on Israeli defense technology. The move deepens regional security ties and likely reshapes Gulf defense planning.
