Iron Dome nearly 99% effective against incoming missiles, maker Rafael's chairman says
Yuval Steinitz said the system has intercepted most of 40,000 rockets from Hamas and Hezbollah and nearly all of 1,500 Iranian missiles.
- On Monday, the chairman of Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd stated the Iron Dome has been nearly 99% effective against Hamas and Hezbollah missiles, while knocking out most from Iran.
- Since the October 2023 Hamas raid, Hamas and Hezbollah have fired some 40,000 rockets at Israel, while Iran has launched about 1,500 ballistic missiles in two rounds of fighting since 2024.
- Success rates are "not 100% but close to 100%," Steinitz said, noting that "only several dozens" of ballistic missiles from Iran were not intercepted.
- Without the Iron Dome, which is largely funded by the United States, Israel's economy would be "totally paralyzed" and "several thousands of Israeli civilians would be killed," Steinitz stated.
- Steinitz, a former negotiator for the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan under Benjamin Netanyahu, previously opposed the JCPOA, from which President Donald Trump withdrew in 2018.
