U.S.-Born IDF Missile Defense Officer Takes American UN Envoy on Tour of Iron Dome

(Algemeiner) Sharon Wrobel - U.S. Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield toured an Israeli Iron Dome missile defense unit on Tuesday, guided by Lt. Tova, a U.S.-born Israel Air Force officer. "The IDF shared a look at the Iron Dome and David's Sling systems, which our nations developed together to save the lives of innocent civilians," Thomas-Greenfield said. Lt. Tova said, "When there are rockets being sent into Israel, we have very few seconds or split-second decisions if we want to shoot it down. We are a team of several people, but at the end I am the one who makes the life-or-death decisions." She added, "In America, there is no such thing as a 22-year-old who is making life or death decisions, but in Israel, it is the reality."
