El Al passenger planes will be barred from landing in some European countries because they have been equipped with defense systems against shoulder-held missiles, the German newspaper Der Spiegel reported.  "If we catch Israeli planes fitted with this system in our airports, they will be grounded," said a spokesman for the Swiss aviation authority.

The battle-proven system is capable of detecting an approaching missile and automatically activating countermeasures in the form of flares that will divert the missile from its course. A source at the Ministry of Transportation noted that the countries who oppose the system are not those where the threat of a missile attack is high. "Therefore, this is not such a big problem."
