Israeli airline El Al is reportedly protecting its aircraft fleet with anti-missile devices.

The passenger jets are being fitted with the Israeli-made 'Flight Guard' system. The first El Al aircraft to be equipped with the anti-missile technology will be operating flights by June, according to Israel's Transportation Ministry.

Other international airlines are expected to introduce similar systems later this year, reported Reuters.
