Israel has reportedly deployed its notorious Iron Dome defence system ahead of the Eurovision Song Contest later this week.
According to newspaper Haaretz, batteries of missiles which are designed to intercept incoming projectiles, have been deployed across the country amid security concerns.
Last Monday, Israel and Palestine agreed a ceasefire following a ferocious missile exchange which saw nearly 700 rockets fired across the border.

Four Israelis and 25 Palestinians were said to have been killed in the strikes.
Following the precarious ceasefire the US embassy in Tel Aviv warned of the potential for rocket attacks during the Song Contest.
'Terrorist groups may choose the anniversary, which coincides with the Eurovision Song Contest in Tel Aviv to conduct violent protests or an attack,' The US Embassy said in a security alert on sent out this week.
'Security incidents can occur well beyond Gaza and its periphery and at any time.'
Last week, Palestinian forces claimed the Iron Dome system was breached by its rocket barrage, raising questions over the effectiveness of the multi-million dollar system.

At the weekend around 690 missiles were launched into Israel over the course of two days, leaving four civilians dead and injuring nearly 200 people.
But of the hundreds of projectiles fired into the country, the Iron Dome only intercepted 240, according to Haaretz.
