There are a lot of posts about the system and claims that it will be deployed soon or even sooner. But no evidence of operation presented so far.
The market resolves YES on a successful interception documented, not just announced.
Although even an isolated deployment would suffice.

What Is the 'Iron Beam?' Israel's Never-Before-Used Defense System: Report (newsweek.com)
Interception reported by Western Media
@BenAdams refers to the same tweet, no new information
reported Hillel Hallel, an army and defense correspondent for Israeli commercial television Channel 14, on X
@ICRainbow Really embarrasing how the media just spreads misinformation without checking. Hillel himself said it was not Iron Beam some 30 minutes after
First successful interception
הלל ביטון רוזן | Hallel Bitton Rosen on X: "פרסמנו במהדורה: לראשונה בעולם - מערכת לייזר שפותחה בארץ הצליחה ליירט רקטה ששוגרה לעבר ישראל במהלך ימי הלחימה. לאחר הפרסום בחדשות 14, על הצבתה של המערכת הנסיונית, כעת הגיעה הבשורה המשמחת - המערכת הצליחה לבצע יירוט מוצלח." / X (twitter.com)
Still no IDF materials featuring intercepted stuff.
משרד הביטחון אישר היום (חמישי) כי מערכת ההגנה האווירית "מגן אור" נכנסה לפעילות מבצעית במלחמת "חרבות ברזל"
My translation: The ministry of defense confirmed today (Thursday) that the aerial defense system "Light Shield" [That's the new name for Iron Beam] has become operative in the "Iron Swords" war.
"מגן אור", שנפרסה בדרום הארץ...
"Light Shield", which was deployed in the south of the country...
@ICRainbow Can this resolve? The article clearly states it was deployed.
@Shump yeah, looks like it. I want one more confirmation though. Should be coming any time soon now.
@ICRainbow I want to apologize, this source does not appear to be reliable. It seems that they've copied the information from a different, more reliable Israeli news source, but instead of writing things in future tense, like the original, they wrote it as if it already happened. I was initially confused by that.
We still need to wait for a source saying the system actually got deployed.
