Hamas has fired hundreds of rockets at Israel, which this system (Iron Dome) is destroying in the sky before falling to the ground. Many videos of this have been released by the Israeli army.
Air defense system protects Israel from Hamas rockets Iron Dome
Iron Dome Defence System of Israel: So far 74 people have died due to a dispute between Israelis and Palestinians that started last Friday. Of these, 64 people died in Gaza while 7 people died in Israel. Meanwhile, since May 10, the extremist group of Palestinians has been continuously rocketing Hamas, Israel (Iron Dome Air Defense System in Hindi). The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) says that about 1,500 rockets have been fired from Gaza on Israeli cities so far.
In response, Israel has also carried out an air strike at Hamas bases. In which many top Hamas commanders have been killed. In such a situation, the biggest question is how even after so many rockets were fired, Israel has suffered very little damage. So the poster boy behind it is ‘Iron Dome’. This is the defense system, which is the biggest defender of IRAEL. Because of this, even hundreds of Hamas rockets are not able to do anything wrong with Israel (Iron Dome at Night). The IDF has also posted many such videos on its official Twitter account, which are telling how this defense system works. So let’s know the full story of this today.
How does Iron Dome work?
In the video posted by the IDF, it can be seen that the rockets being released by Hamas are being destroyed in the middle of the air. The Iron Dome is finishing these rockets before they fall to the ground. The Iron Dome runs on a battery (ie a rocket stopping unit). It consists of three parts of the rocket dropping battery – Radar Detection Unit, Control Center (Battle Managemenet and Control) and Launcher (Missile Firing Unit).
As soon as a rocket is fired from Gaza, the radar comes to know about it. It gets this information, at what time, from where the rocket is being fired, at what speed it is coming and where it can fall. Now this information is passed on to the next part i.e. the control center. In which, with the help of a high-speed computer, it is known which place the rocket can fall (Iron Dome Defense System How it Works).
Some rockets are allowed to fall
If the rocket is expected to fall on a populated area or an important building in the country, it is decided to stop it but if it is likely to fall on a deserted or empty place, it is allowed to fall. . In such a situation, if the control center feels that the rocket is about to fall on some important place, the collected information is sent to the third part launcher. The launcher itself launches the Interceptor Missile, which kills the rocket in the sky.
The best part of it is that these three parts can be kept separately. The data transfer between them is also wireless. This system can be moved from one place to another. However, there were reports of a system malfunction on 11 May, due to which some rockets could not be stopped and Israel suffered from them.
Why did Israel need it?
Violence between Israel and the Palestinians has continued since the formation of Israel. But the lack of the system was realized at the time when a small Israeli city was targeted in 2001. Israel’s city of Sderot is located near the outskirts of Gaza (Iron Dome Defense System Israel). On this, a rocket was fired from Gaza in April. It was the first rocket fired on Israel, which lasted until the year 2005.
But by 2006, the situation got worse and now Hamas started firing more long-range rockets. Although Hamas was not calm before, it used to carry out suicide attacks before rocket attacks. By the year 2012, these rockets reached the capital Tel Aviv. In such a situation, the biggest challenge before Israel was to stop these rockets. If this was not done, then he could not stop the harm caused to himself even if he wanted to.

America helped Israel
Israel was now trying to break out of this problem (Iron Dome Air Defense System). From 2006 onwards, Israel started trying to find a solution. The US also has a defense system, which was given to Israel by the US to protect it from the Iraq attacks in the 1990s. But it did not prove to be very strong. Because of which Israel decided to build its own missile defense system. On this, the United States extended a helping hand in the amount spent.
Its construction was also awarded to the Israeli Rafale Advance Defense System Company. Israel feels extremely proud about it (Iron Dome Anti Missile System). He says that this system with dom shape protects the Israelis. On Tuesday, the Israeli army claimed that more than 90 percent of the rockets fired by Hamas had been destroyed by the Iron Dome.
