On April 17, Hezbollah showed footage showing the destruction of the Israeli EL M-2084 radar, which is a key component of the Iron Dome missile defense system.

This radar was located on the territory of the Meron military base and was allegedly attacked using an Iranian-made Almas-3 heavy anti-tank guided missile.

The EL M-2084 is a multi–purpose S-band AFAR radar developed by Israel Aerospace Industries and its subsidiary ELTA Systems.

It plays an important role in Israel's deep-echelon air defense network and is designed primarily to detect and track targets while operating the Iron Dome system, which is engaged in intercepting short-range missiles and artillery shells

- indicated in the Army Recognition publication.

As noted, the standard Iron Dome battery includes an EL M-2084 radar, a missile control center and several launchers, each equipped with 20 interceptors providing 360-degree coverage of the airspace.

At the same time, the EL M-2084 is also used in other Israeli missile defense systems, such as David's Sling and Arrow. The radar was also exported to various countries, including India and Azerbaijan.

Almas ATGM works on the principle of "shot and forget" and is the Iranian equivalent of the Israeli Spike missile. It has three modifications: Almas-1/2/3. Previously, it was believed that Almas-3 could only be launched from a vehicle or drone.
