Iran launched more than two hundred explosive-laden unmanned aerial vehicles, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles against military targets in Israel overnight Saturday into Sunday, in retaliation for an unprecedented direct Israeli bombing of its consulate in Damascus on April 1. attack by the Islamic Republic against Israeli territory.
More than 300 drones and missiles were intercepted with a 99% success rate by Israeli air defense systems and fighter jets, with the air defense system once again dominating the defense operation Iron Dome.
Iron Dome is a mobile all-weather air defense system produced by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries.
The system is designed to intercept and destroy short-range rockets and projectiles fired from distances of 4 to 70 kilometers away and whose trajectory would lead them to an Israeli residential area.
The system was declared operational and initially deployed on March 27, 2011 near Beersheba. On April 7, 2011, it successfully intercepted a rocket fired from Gaza for the first time.
