How the Iron Dome rocket defense system works, explained by Israeli experts | ABS-CBN News

While Israel recently marked the first anniversary of the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack that sparked the ongoing war, dozens of rockets continue to be fired daily from Lebanon and, less frequently, from Gaza into the country.

The Israeli military estimates that over a year of conflict, close to 26,000 rockets were fired against Israel, with 13,200 coming from Gaza and 12,400 from Lebanon.

Despite the considerable number of projectiles launched towards Israel, only a handful of deaths and injuries from the attacks are reported each month.

This is because up to 90 per cent of rockets are intercepted in the sky before reaching their target, thanks to Israel's short-range missile defense system dubbed the "Iron Dome".
