Grad Rockets Now Getting Thru Israel's Iron Dome - Direct Hits on Ashdod. A False-Flag to Pin on Iran as a Pretext for a Strike?
The Iron Dome system designed by Israeli engineers to intercept the short-range Palestinian missiles battering Israel from the Gaza Strip is turning out surprisingly to be a wonder weapon.

The three batteries posted in Beersheba, Ashdod and Ashkelon have all but eliminated the number of Grad missiles getting through for direct hits and so far saved their populations from fatal casualties since Jihad Islami started shooting missiles at a dozen Israeli towns and villages Friday, March 9.

Military and intelligence sources report that top Iranian and Hizballah missile experts posted at Hamas and Jihad Islami's military headquarters in Gaza went to work Sunday to puzzle out counter-measures for disarming the novel interceptor.

Nonstop barrage on south continues: Gaza terrorists fired more than a dozen rockets at Israel's Negev communities Monday morning, as the escalation on the country's southern border entered its fourth day.

Israel Air Force jets targeted several terror cells in Gaza Strip overnight and Monday morning. The IDF said the pilots reported hitting their marks.

 Quoting: DoorBert


Seven intercepts against seventeen launches isn't exactly a wonder weapon.

Especially when the anti-missile missile costs 50 G's and the thing it's shooting down (less than 50% of the time) costs $500.

The countermeasure is to just keep launching rockets until the IDF runs out of Iron Dome missiles.

Very true. One way of taking out the Gaza missiles would be a nice little EMP pulse. It would render the launcher controllers useless.

IIRC they do have a few more complex missiles, but you're right in that it wouldn't stop it entirely.

Re: Grad Rockets Now Getting Thru Israel's Iron Dome - Direct Hits on Ashdod. A False-Flag to Pin on Iran as a Pretext for a Strike?
The renewed assault on Gaza coincided with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s return to Israel after days of discussions in Washington with President Barack Obama about Iran’s nuclear program. Netanyahu had hoped to secure a solid commitment from Obama to authorize an attack on Iran, or to at least support an Israeli strike in the near future. Instead, he was rebuked, with Obama condemning Netanyahu’s “loose talk of war” and warning him not to strike Iran.

Almost as soon as he limped back to Jerusalem in frustration, Netanyahu gathered with his generals to gin up a case for pounding Gaza. The Gaza Strip, with its warehoused population of stateless refugees, would serve as their punching bag and pressure release valve. They could not have their war on Iran — not yet, at least — but they could assault Palestinians in Gaza without fear of repercussions from Washington.
