Rockets fired at Israel are intercepted by Iron Dome missile defence system

Israel has assassinated the commander of Islamic Jihad's rocket launch forces in the Gaza Strip in an overnight airstrike, dampening hopes of a swift ceasefire as fighting continued for a third day.

The Israeli military said it targeted Islamic Jihad commander Ali Ghali inside a safehouse with a predawn airstrike that also killed two other militants from the same group.

His death was also confirmed in a statement by Islamic Jihad, the second largest militant group in the Gaza Strip, which said he was killed in the southern Gaza Strip.

The Iron dome is an astonishing technological achievement.

0:27 Remember that every single missile launched by the Iron Dome is matching a single enemy missile 😵.

Most Palestinian rockets end up killing their own people due to their poor quality and Iranian tech.

the people firing rockets at Israel do this knowing that there will be a retaliation that costs the lives of Palestinians in gaza. But they don't give a crap about their own people. At least their actions would be justified if they fired them from outside populated areas or were actually trying to destroy targets with military value. But just resorting to terrorism and putting the lives of innocents at risk on both sides... makes me wonder why Palestinian civilians never rise up against them.

The rocket flight path reminds me of the scene on Kingdom of Heaven when saladin’s army fired the first barrages of Trebuchets with their siege boulder flaming creating chaos on Jerusalem during their first night of the attack

[hoodrich]

[hanaashaba]

Feeling sorry for the victims on both sides 😢

[dpelpal]

Israel should respond to any and all terrorist attacks with such overwhelming force and power that these people NEVER send rockets at Israel again!!!!

[ayahpinkofficial]

It’s a sad the world has come to this. Rather kill innocent people than verbally resolve something.

[alangupta]

But from where do Hamas get money to build rockets

If someone was to launch a firework in an area covered by an iron dome, would iron dome intercept it?
