Summary:
Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system has achieved a success rate of approximately 98 to 99 percent in intercepting rockets fired by Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran, according to Yuval Steinitz, chairman of Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. Since the October 2023 Hamas raid, about 40,000 rockets were launched at Israel by Hamas and Hezbollah, while Iran fired around 1,500 ballistic missiles in two rounds of fighting in 2024. Steinitz emphasized that the system has a sufficient supply of interceptors and credited the Iron Dome, largely funded by the United States, with preventing significant civilian casualties and disruptions to Israeli society. He noted that without the Iron Dome, Israel’s economy and daily life would be severely affected due to missile threats.

Rafael’s Yuval Steinitz told a conference of the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs that since the October 2023 Hamas raid on Israel, Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon have between them fired some 40,000 rockets at Israel. “Iron Dome intercepted most of them with success rates that [are] not 100% but close to 100%. It’s around 98%, even 99%, so it’s not perfect, but almost,” Steinitz said.

He noted that there was no shortage of missile interceptors. Steinitz said that, without the Iron Dome missile defense system largely funded by the United State...
