This location is contradicted by contemporaneous reporting on the April 2022 announcement. The Jerusalem Post reported that the experiments were "carried out in Israel's South" by Israel's Defense Ministry and Rafael. The article describes the same test series and the same target set (UAVs, mortars, rockets, and anti-tank missiles), so it is referring to the same event. That makes the Wikipedia sentence's placement of those trials at White Sands Missile Range incorrect.

The article says the system is "officially Laser Dome in English", but official English-language materials from Israel's Ministry of Defense use Iron Beam as the system's name.

• On 17 September 2025, the Israeli MOD's English press release was titled "Israel MOD and Rafael Announce: Development of High-Power Laser System Completed Delivery for IDF Operational Use Expected in the Near Term" and tags the system as Iron Beam.
• On 28 December 2025, the Israeli MOD's English press release was titled "Israel MOD and Rafael Deliver First Operational High-Power Laser System - Iron Beam to the IDF".
• The official Hebrew announcement about naming the system "אור איתן" also explicitly pairs that Hebrew name with "(IRON BEAM)".

Those official materials show the English official name in use is Iron Beam, while Or Eitan is the Hebrew name. That contradicts the claim that the system is officially called Laser Dome in English.

This sentence gives a specific total that does not match the later clarification from the IDF. The Jerusalem Post reported that after the May 28, 2025 announcement, "the military on Thursday clarified that the exact number was 35 Hezbollah drones." Because the article makes a precise numerical claim — 40 — and the clarified figure is 35, that number is incorrect.
