Israel’s Iron Dome air defence system: What is it and how does it work?

Hamas fired more than 3,000 rockets into Israel during its deadly assault last Saturday. The vast majority of the air attacks, however, caused little or no harm, largely because of Israel’s Iron Dome. The land-based defence system intercepts and destroys short-range rockets and mortars, and has been a mainstay of Israel's defence force since 2011. CNA’s Teresa Tang explains how the system works.

    it only works against sneak attacks, not planned attacks to exhaust it. its ammo is expense and the rockets to trigger it is cheap and they can exhaust it's resources to leave the defense system disabled/disarmed

    When you have to have this sort of defense system, it obviously shows that you are surrounded by enemies. Who would want to live in a place like that? Why do they think it's so HOLY??? Won't they be surprised when they pass and there is no God and no heaven? What a waste of life to be continuously a slave to a God that doesn't exist, and fighting with others that believe in their own version of the same silly thing.

    The Iron Dome is definitely impressive and outstanding. BUT it would be EVEN more impressive if it could NOT only passively neutralised incoming rockets but fire a secondary rocket from above using calculated trajectory to source of launch thus making it a passive aggressive weapon shield. 👍🏻 Once launch pads are destroyed by secondary Iron dome rockets, the worries of “being Overwhelmed” by countless adversarial rockets fired at the same time will then be made redundant.

Of course, when fighting a war against a cowardly terrorist group which hides behind civilians there are bound to be civilian casualties. Do you think Israel should ignore the monstrous massacre of 1500 of their citizens? If you could decide, what would have been the right way to respond to this animalistic massacre, and to make sure it never happens again?

    Iron Domes are a costly reactive defense system. In Indian landscape, this system has proved futile and has become obsolete long back. In contrast, there is a robust security apparatus known as the 'Modi Dome' that includes a pre-emptive action wing called the RAW. This invasive action wing proactively pinpoints and intercepts the terrorists precisely in any part of the world even before they can execute their plots.
