Israel’s Iron Dome Defense
What is Israel’s Iron Dome defense system? Developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, these mobile launchers sense short-range rockets and artillery shells, intercepting and exploding them mid-flight. The system was created as a defensive countermeasure to the rocket threat against Israel’s civilian population on its northern and southern borders. It is designed to intercept threats up to 70 kilometers in all-weather situations.
