Anas Baba/AFP via Getty Images Israel s primary defense against Hamas rockets is the Iron Dome system. Around 4,000 rockets were fired at Israel over a period of just 10 days, according to the IDF. In addition to rockets, Iron Dome has also intercepted drones in combat for the first time. Israel s skies are defended by Iron Dome, an air-defense system that has been put to the test in the current conflict with Palestinian militants by not only unusually heavy rocket fire but also other threats it has never faced in combat before. The Israel Defense Forces report that over a period of just ten days, Hamas and other Palestinian militant forces in Gaza have fired 4,000 Qassam rockets at Israel. For comparison, over the course of the intense 50-day conflict in 2014, 4,881 rockets were fired, according to UN investigators.
