What is Israel's Iron Dome defence system - and why is it so effective?
Israel's air defense system is one of the best in the world.
Iron Dome became operational in 2011 largely in response to the 2006 war, which ended when Hamas took control of Gaza the following year.
'The script is currently being created';
Mobile Launcher and "Combat Management Center"
Iron Dome was built by the Israeli state's Rafael Advanced Defense Systems with US support.
The system consists of transportation vehicles located throughout the country.
When their radar detects a threat, a message is sent to the "combat control center"; Here, the military observes the threat, predicts its path and impact, and decides whether to use missiles to intercept it.
Then fire a missile directly at or near the threat so the shrapnel can destroy it.
The dome, called Kippat Barzel in Hebrew, takes a few minutes to respond and operates 24 hours a day.
Iron Dome was originally designed to protect cities and strategic areas from missiles with ranges of 2.5 miles and 43 miles, but is believed to have been expanded.
More than 90% effective
It continues to block more than 90% of rockets fired at Israel, and the military used it to protect ships and other valuables in 2017.
This is why the death toll in Israel's current war with Hamas remains low, while the death toll in Gaza continues to rise.
Soon after entering service,
became the envy of the rest of the military.
Rafael said that he has provided at least two Iron Dome batteries to the US military, and that Ukraine has requested the same.
Saturation point unknown
Although very good, it is not perfect. There is a saturation point where the dome is flooded, but the truth is unknown.
Iran used 170 unmanned aerial vehicles, 120 ballistic missiles and 30 cruise missiles in the April 13 attack; According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), "99 percent of them were stopped by the Iron Dome."
When the war started on October 7 last year, 3 thousand rockets were fired at Gaza at once.
A total of 4,000 missiles were fired during the 50-day war between Israel and Gaza.
Israel also has medium and long-range defense systems called David's Sling, Patriot and Arrow.
