ℹ #Israel's Air Force is set to bid farewell to its aging #PatriotMissile #defense systems in the coming months, replacing the batteries with more advanced air defenses, the #military said Tuesday

In February, the #IAF said it was in the process of closing several #Patriot batteries, and its staff would be trained to operate the #IronDome instead

The #Patriot array known in the #IAF as #Yahalom, will be deactivated for good within two months
