Israel's Iron Dome

Israel's Iron Dome is an advanced missile defense system designed to intercept and destroy short-range rockets and artillery shells fired toward civilian areas. Using radar and sensors, it detects incoming threats, calculates their trajectory, and if they threaten populated zones, launches interceptor missiles to neutralize them in mid-air. This system acts as a protective shield, reducing casualties and damage during conflicts, by focusing on threats that pose immediate danger to people and infrastructure, while allowing safer areas to remain unthreatened.
