Iron Dome is saving a lot of lives in Israel; here's all about the world famous air defense system
What is so special about the Iron Dome?
The technology, while state-of-the-art, is not fully automated. Radar systems track incoming missiles, and control center operatives decide whether to launch counter-missiles, particularly when civilian areas are at risk. Each launcher can hold up to 20 Tamir interceptor missiles, valued at approximately $60,000 each. Gavish emphasized the role of operators, who are on constant alert, ready to respond at a moment's notice.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently praised the Iron Dome operatives as the “shield of the State of Israel,” highlighting the dichotomy between Israel’s defensive actions and the tactics employed by Hamas, which targets civilian areas. Civilians express gratitude for the system's protection but voice concerns about over-reliance on technology amidst ongoing violence.

As tensions rise with Hezbollah, which possesses a more sophisticated arsenal, the effectiveness of the Iron Dome comes under scrutiny. The system has a commendable success rate, but even a 10% failure rate raises concerns, particularly if multiple rockets are launched simultaneously.
