Israel will equip commercial airliners with missile repellent devices in the coming weeks.

Plans for the system were launched in 2002 after missiles launched by Al-Qaida terrorists in Kenya barely missed an airliner. The devices, which fire flares that interfere with missiles’ heat detection devices, should be installed within weeks, Ha’aretz reported.
