What is Israel’s Iron Dome
The high-tech ‘Iron Dome‘ is a short-range air defence system designed to destroy rockets, artillery and mortars.
The surface-to-air missile system has been deployed by Israeli security forces since 2011 and has helped reduce deaths due to rocket attacks against Israeli cities.
The air defence system was developed by Israeli defence firms Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Israeli Aerospace Industries with US support.
The Iron Dome air defence system is considered to be the most advanced in the world, with a success rate of up to 90%. However, some rockets still managed to enter Israeli cities, resulting in deaths in Israel from these rocket attacks carried out by Hamas.
Issues with long-held territorial control between Israel and pro-Palestinian forces have once again increased, resulting in large-scale violence and attacks.
Tensions have now erupted following the removal of illegal Palestinian families from Sheikh Jarrah‘s neighbourhood in East Jerusalem and fresh violence has erupted in the region.
