Senior defense official presents Israeli cabinet with assessment of number of people dead should Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, and Hamas launch missiles at Israel; number is far lower than the one mentioned previously by Defense Minister Barak.

They've got a lot of confidence in Iron Dome, Arrow, and Patriot, evidently.
