Warzone/The Drive: Continuous Mass Rocket Attacks Pose New Challenges For Israel's Iron Dome System
Highly concerning new tactics aimed at overwhelming Iron Dome batteries are being employed by Palestinian militants.
Palestinian militants have fired more than 1,050 rockets at cities and towns across Israel from the Gaza Strip in less than two days. The Israel Defense Forces, or IDF, have been able to knock down hundreds of them thanks to Iron Dome defense systems and their Tamir interceptors. However, the sheer volume of rockets has underscored the limitations of employing Iron Dome against continous mass saturation attacks, which is clearly the tactic at play during this recent burst of violence.
It also points to how this reality incentivizes Israel's opponents to simply expand their arsenals in order to effectively penetrate Iron Dome defenses. The Al Qassam Brigades, the militant wing of the Palestinian group Hamas, as well as Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), have been the groups primarily responsible for these attacks, which include the largest rocket barrages aimed at central Israel ever. The rocket fire has prompted Israeli retaliatory air and artillery strikes, including a number of targeted killings of senior Palestinian militants.

All these rockets are drying up the inventories of Iron Dome.
Let hamas bleed the iron dome missile inventory dry then iran can attack with ballistic missiles rather than these fire crackers. Simple strategy
