Israel’s vaunted Iron Dome stretched to limit by Hamas rocket barrage
(Worthy News) – Israel‘s state-of-the-art Iron Dome missile defense system is facing its toughest test to date amid rapid-fire rocket attacks from Hamas, with military analysts in Israel openly wondering whether the Palestinian militant group has found a strategy to partially pierce the shield.
The Iron Dome has succeeded in intercepting the vast majority of the thousands of rockets fired by Hamas from the Gaza Strip, where Israel has retaliated with crushing military strikes of its own that have led to dozens of deaths and a level of violence not seen since the two sides went to war in 2014.
But at least several Hamas rockets have gotten through the missile defense system, and at least six Israelis have been killed. Israeli firefighters also have been working for more than 24 hours to extinguish fires at a petroleum facility south of the city of Ashkelon that erupted in flames after being hit by rocket fire.
