IDF rejects allegations that soldiers working with radar, Iron Dome risk cancer
The IDF claimed that journals making the allegations lack the larger data the IDF possesses and that its conclusions are supported by the Health Ministry.

The IDF on Monday rejected allegations in multiple prominent journal publications saying that its soldiers who work in close proximity to Iron Dome and other radar instruments have a higher risk of cancer. The Jerusalem Post has learned that the IDF view is that despite the prominence of the publications, they lack the vastly larger data that the IDF possesses to perform comparisons between those who say they were harmed and “control” subjects.

Whereas the civilian journal publications compare dozens of cancer patients allegedly harmed by their IDF service with Iron Dome and other radars systems to the civilian populations, the IDF has the benefit of comparing the dozens of individuals in question to thousands of IDF personnel who served at similar bases as those with cancer, but who did not deal directly with the same radar systems.
