Please note Iron dome can tell where the rocket will land if not into people/cities, it is allowed to go to field/water..whatever. Only rockets going to hit people/cities are intercepted. With that understanding, the actual hit ratio is about 98%. Clearly not perfect, but not bad!  |

| Desert Fox User ID: 8786935 United States11/18/2012 06:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Two media buildings were struck in Gaza City, injuring eight Palestinian journalists, one of whom had to have a leg amputated. Quoting: Dark_Green Among those using the buildings were a Hamas television channel, al-Quds TV, as well as Sky News and ITN. The BBC had its offices in one of the buildings until last year. Late on Sunday, two men from the same family were killed in an air strike close to the finance ministry, officials said, and a child was reported to have died in a separate attack in northern Gaza. The World Health Organization says hospitals in Gaza are now overwhelmed with casualties and short on supplies. Palestinian officials say a number of people are still missing under rubble and the total of injured since Wednesday is now 660.

Please note Iron dome can tell where the rocket will land if not into people/cities, it is allowed to go to field/water..whatever. Only rockets going to hit people/cities are intercepted. With that understanding, the actual hit ratio is about 98%. Clearly not perfect, but not bad! Voice of sanity! In addition, the 5th unit that was just delivered is the second generation of the system. The other four are first generation. There are many more locations that the system will be deployed at before Iron Dome reaches full coverage. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21651525 I wish they would so all of this can be brought to a conclusion. I just hope if they do go in it is over swiftly and with a minimal body count on both sides.
