The commander of the air defense of the Israeli army acknowledged the weakness of the missile shield system of this regime against the missile attacks of the Palestinian resistance.
According to Mehr News Agency, quoting Valla, “Gilad Biran”, the commander of the air defense of the Israeli army, acknowledged the weakness of the regime’s missile shield system against the Palestinian resistance missile attacks and said: “The current missile systems do not cover all areas.”
Gilad Biran also added: “The Iron Dome system is not a magic device to prevent missiles from hitting, and each system has weaknesses and can not respond to all threats.”
Referring to the recent battle against the Palestinian resistance, the Zionist general also acknowledged that in the recent 11-day war with Palestinian groups, he had been forced at least twice while visiting the Iron Dome batteries for fear of rockets and missiles hitting the ground.
The Zionist regime’s air defense commander finally acknowledged that he believed there was never a way to counter the missiles fired by the Palestinian group.
For several years, the Zionist regime’s “Iron Dome” system, as the pride of the regime’s war industry, has faced major challenges in intercepting Palestinian resistance missiles, despite its high costs. Challenges that the Zionists themselves acknowledge and have not yet found a clear solution to.
In 2008, the first war in Gaza, when Palestinian resistance missiles first reached the city of Asqalan, the Israeli army modernized the Iron Dome, and the system entered the operational line in 2011.
Each launcher in the system contains 20 missiles, each of which, according to Israeli institutions, costs $ 50,000 to $ 65,000; This means that each launcher needs at least one million dollars of missiles. For this reason, the high cost of operating the Iron Dome was one of the most important criticisms of this system.
But in the meantime, the resistance groups have carefully studied the efficiency of the Iron Dome system and managed to bypass it several times. On the other hand, reports indicate that Hamas and the Islamic Jihad movement have at least 15,000 missiles at their disposal, much more destructive than Israeli institutions estimate, and that dozens and perhaps hundreds of these missiles have a range of more than 160 kilometers. They can easily target Israeli facilities and the heart of Tel Aviv, so it is clear that in this case the Iron Dome could not be a sure solution to protect the Israelis.
But the Iron Dome’s weakness in intercepting resistance missiles was highlighted in the recent conflict in occupied Palestine, and the Zionists themselves admit that the Iron Dome intercepts only one in seven missiles.
