Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system has come into the spotlight this week after a surprise attack of thousands of rockets sent into the country by the terrorist organization Hamas over the weekend.
The Iron Dome is a network of radars and missile launchers that Israel uses to identify incoming short-range rockets and intercept them if they are headed toward a sensitive or civilian area. The system was developed by two Israeli companies with support from the United States. It has touted an accuracy rate as high as 90% and was first deployed in 2011.
The United States is expected to help replenish Israel's stockpile, but it is unclear how much would be provided or the dollar amount it is expected to cost.One clear weakness in the defense system is the possibility of it being overwhelmed. Israel's enemies knew there would be a saturation point in which a barrage of rockets would be too great for the defense system to fight off efficiently, but before Saturday, that magic number had not been reached.
