The Israeli government has completed the transfer of its Tzeva Adom air raid early warning system to Ukraine, according to Israeli Ambassador to Ukraine, Michael Brodsky. The handover marks the culmination of months of negotiations and technical work.
The Tzeva Adom system is well-known in Israel for its critical role in safeguarding civilians from incoming missile and rocket threats. The system operates by detecting incoming projectiles and issuing immediate alerts to residents, providing valuable seconds to seek shelter. In Israel, the Tzeva Adom system has proven effective in mitigating the impact of rocket attacks, particularly from the Gaza Strip, by giving communities close to conflict zones rapid warnings.

Although the handover has been completed, Michael Brodsky noted that the system has not yet become operational in Ukraine. He emphasized that the Ukrainian side is now responsible for the implementation and integration of the system into its air defense infrastructure. As of now, the reasons for the delay remain unclear, and Ukrainian authorities have been encouraged to provide further details.
The transfer of the Tzeva Adom system to Ukraine comes in the context of russia’s ongoing military aggression, where Ukrainian cities and critical infrastructure have been subject to frequent missile and drone attacks. Once operational, the system could provide an essential layer of defense by alerting civilians of incoming air threats, potentially saving lives and reducing casualties.
