There is doubt about how many rockets were fired at Israel from Hamas on Saturday morning, but both sides talk about thousands of rockets. Hamas says there are about 7,000; Israeli officials talk about 3,000 people. In any case, what is clear is that in such situations Israel’s proverbial shield, the Iron Dome, this did not block the impact of most bullets.
This operation, along with an unprecedented infiltration of militias into Israeli territory, resulted in the deaths of more than half a thousand people. Israel’s response was immediate and has already caused the deaths of hundreds of Palestinians.
Iron Dome performed better when captured in May 2021 90% of the more than 1,500 rockets launched by Islamic Jihad and Hamas on that occasion.
However, How does this protection system, which has been the pride of the Israeli army so far, work?
-
Iron Dome Detects and intercepts rockets launched from the source by the ‘enemy’. It also calculates where it will land in thousandths of a second. If they think the missile will fall into the desert, they detonate it. If they think it will enter a residential area or a dome, they detonate it. Send another missile to intercept it and detonate it in the air. They shatter in almost the same place from the moment they are launched.
