Israel’s Iron Dome defence system has been about 99 percent effective against missiles from Hamas and Hezbollah, claimed its state-owned maker Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. Its chairman Yuval Steinitz noted that “only several dozen” of ballistic missiles fired from Iran were not intercepted. He added that most of the 1,500 missiles were knocked out. He said that since the October 2023 attack on Israel, Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon have fired around 40,000 rockets at Israel.
