Israel’s Iron Dome is considered a highly effective missile defense system, with its latest success rating of 96% in destroying rockets fired from Gaza in May 2023, according to Israeli Defense Forces.
So did Hamas defeat the billion-dollar Iron Dome ahead of its surprise attack on Israel?
The militant group said it launched 5,000 rockets in 20 minutes – Israeli Defense Forces said 2,200 were fired – that overwhelmed the Iron Dome system. An attack of that intensity can exhaust defensive missile stockpiles, which take time to reload.
