With over 2,500 combat interceptions, at a success rate of 90%, and numerous lives saved, today April 7 marks the 10th anniversary of the first combat interception of Rafael’s Iron Dome Air Defense System.
Iron Dome’s first massive and dramatic performance took place during operation Pillar of Defense in 2012, when it intercepted over 500 different threats fired from the Gaza Strip onto different parts of Israel, including heavy rocket barrages (Picture source: Israel Defense Forces)
