Magal Opens Office Near Washington DC to Focus on Homeland Security Solutions

Thursday November 9, 7:00 am ET

YAHUD, Israel, November 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Magal Security Systems, Ltd.
(NASDAQ: MAGS; TASE: MAGS), today announced that its US subsidiary, Magal
Senstar Inc., has opened a new office in Herndon, VA, adjacent to Washington
Dulles Airport. The mission of this office is to serve the growing needs of
local, state and federal Homeland Security requirements. This office will focus
exclusively on providing a comprehensive security architecture for perimeter
applications, which is comprised of command and control, physical security
sensors, and intelligent video.

Magal Senstar is planning an official open house for the new facility on
November 16, 2006.

The facility will host several of Magal's advanced sensor solutions for
intrusion detection, pipeline infiltration, intelligent video surveillance, and
multi-sensor command and control. The "solution center" will demonstrate
integration of Magal's leading perimeter sensors, with advanced intelligent
video for real time decision support on the response to possible intrusions.

"At the end of the day, most security people we interact with are sceptical of
new vendors who talk about new security technology," says Rob Welton, Director
for Homeland Security, Magal Senstar, Inc. "We're one of the few companies who
not only build the systems and sensors, and help to deploy them; we are now able
to demonstrate our capabilities at a convenient site."

Izhar Dekel, CEO of Magal added, "Our new physical presence near Washington DC,
will provide us with better access to the key decision makers and politicians in
the US Homeland Security Department. We are now providing our Washington DC -
based customers with both a local presence and a rich international security
experience."
