A group of Israeli soldiers have claimed that their military service at the anti-missile Iron Dome defense system has given them cancer.
Some soldiers have already filed lawsuits against Israel’s Ministry of Defense.
In 2011, 240 Israeli soldiers started their service at the Iron Dome, six of them got cancer after their release or at the end of their service, according to an investigative report by Yedioth Ahronoth.
They called the Iron Dome, which intercepts short-range missiles, the “Toaster.” When you re near a radar you re literally feeling your body boiling from the inside out. If you try to imagine what happens to food when it is in the microwave, it is like that. You feel the heat coming in waves,” said Jonathan Haimovich, a former Israeli soldier.
