Simon iron dome is a technological marvel, a cutting edge weapon of war that even some pacifists might come to love. Instead of killing people, iron dome saves them, by intercepting rockets loaded with explosives before they can land on innocent civilians. And it does all this in less time than weve just spent explaining it. The system was developed by israel, with hundreds of millions of dollars of support from u. S. Taxpayers. Its been called a gamechanger that might relieve military pressure on israel and make it easier to achieve peace in the middle east, and that was something we decided we had to see for ourselves. siren blaring people screaming over the past 11 years, more than 15,000 rockets and mortars have been fired at israel by hezbollah in lebanon, and by hamas in the gaza strip. Until recently, the only thing israeli civilians could do was run for cover. But in the latest round of fighting between israel and hamas late last year, some people stopped running and tried to get some good pictures, because this time, when hamas fired rockets from gaza at israeli cities, iron dome fired missiles to intercept them in the sky before they could do any damage on the ground. Youre looking at an iron dome missile on its way. You cant see the hamas rocket its going after, but watch how the missile will adjust its course to get close to the hamas rocket and blow it up. At night, the images of iron dome are even more spectacular. This video was taken at a wedding in southern israel. As squadrons of iron dome missiles could be seen hunting salvos of hamas rockets, the wedding music played on despite the battle above. Do you think that people in tel aviv and ashkelon feel safer today than they did six months ago . Ehud barak by far. Simon ehud barak is a legendary israeli commander and general, and israels defense minister. We interviewed him just before israels recent elections. Now, people are not running to shelters so much . Theyre staying in their cafes . Barak no, i. I dont think so. Probably some, probably in tel aviv, where no rocket actually landed. But there is less anxiety deep in their. In their minds. Because, after all, everyone knows the statistics that basically, most probably, the incoming rocket will be intercepted. Simon it really looked like israel was in for it in november when israelis leaders, fed up with rocket attacks from gaza, assassinated hamass military commander. Hamas and Islamic Jihad responded by firing more than 1,500 rockets at israel. The Israeli Air Force says iron dome destroyed 85 of the rockets headed towards israeli towns and cities. Theres no way to independently confirm that figure, but the fact that iron dome could shoot down a shortrange rocket travelling between 500 and 1,000 Miles Per Hour is remarkable in itself. Its like a bullet shooting down another bullet, which is why, when iron dome was just a concept on a drawing board several years ago, many israeli strategists didnt think it could be done. Barak it sounded extremely dramatic, to make two bodies meet together when both of their. Their relative velocities are immense. Simon we understand that it. Again, even the Israeli Air Force was against it . Barak yeah. There were many, many corners of resistance, because people didnt see it as natural. Simon to see how iron dome works, we paid a visit to one of israels five operational batteries. Each battery has its own radar, commandandcontrol center, and launchers that fire the intercepting missiles. The equipments worth about 50 million. Its sitting in a potato field, manned by what appear to be college kids. Shai kogensky is the battery commander. How old are most of your soldiers . Shai kogensky between 18 to 21 years old. Simon thats pretty young. Kogensky yes, yeah. Simon and youre the commander . Kogensky im the commander. I am 32. Simon youre 32. Kogensky yeah. Simon so youre the old man here. Kogensky yes, im the old man. Simon when hamas launches a rocket, iron domes radar detects it, and its computers calculate where it will land. If its headed for an empty field, iron dome wont waste an interceptor on it. But if its going towards a populated area, the system will figure out the best place to intercept the rocket so that the falling shrapnel wont do any harm. Iron dome will then ask one of those kids for permission to fire. So youve got three to five seconds to decide whether or not to intercept it. And you have to do something, the soldier has to do something. It will not be automatic. Kogensky no, no, no, its not automatic. The soldiers are intercepting the rockets. They have to make a decision. Simon this is the iron dome interceptor. Once its launched, it has a mind of its own. And this is the mind right here, the brains. It guides the missile very close to the enemy rocket and explodes, blowing the rocket out of the sky and keeping it far away from an israeli town. A rocket fired from the gaza strip will take just seven to 15 seconds to land in the israeli town of sderot. The israelis say iron dome has knocked down many of those rockets. The rocket scientists who invented iron dome cant, for security reasons, show their faces on camera. But didi yaari, the c. E. O. Of rafael, the lead manufacturer of the system, is under no such restriction. Didi yaari these are the batteries. Simon as he showed us what the inside of an iron dome command center looks like, he told us more fire was directed at southern israel during the eightday battle in november than during all of israels previous wars. People have called the development of the iron dome a game changer. Does that mean anything . Yaari it does, definitely. You know, people go to work. Harbors are working. Cars are moving, trains are moving. Nothing stops. And still, you have circumstances where, in the past, you would consider as full war. Simon israel was ready for full war. 75,000 soldiers and hundreds of Armored Vehicles were called up ready for an invasion of gaza. It didnt happen. Is it because of iron dome that the army didnt have to invade gaza . Yaari by all means. Without iron dome, well. We were inside gaza, you know, after two days. Simon and the casualties on both sides would have been higher . Yaari yeah. Simon while iron dome worked well against hamass rockets, no one knows how it would do in the north against hezbollahs larger, more sophisticated arsenal. And theres expense each iron dome interceptor is believed to cost more than 75,000. A hamas rocket can be built for as little as 500. What if, the next time around, hamas fires a hundred at once, or 500, and half of them are. . Barak i dont want to go into extremely kind of. Extreme kind of scenarios. But basically, that was a question mark that was raised by critics how come that youre launching something that might cost 50,000 or 100,000 against something that cost. Costs 500 or 5,000 . And i say thats not the right way to look into it. Basically, there is high price that i put on our capacity to run normal life, to let the people live as normally as possible, to let the economy flourish and move forward. Simon barak argues that if iron dome makes israelis feel more secure, less threatened, theyll be more willing to make peace with the palestinians. You wont find many palestinians who agree. Husam zomlot before the iron dome, they felt no pressure to make any concessions. After the iron dome, they will feel the pressure to. To make concessions . Of course not. Simon husam zomlot is a p. L. O diplomat and a professor at bir zeit university. Whats this demonstration here . As we walked with him through the streets of ramallah on the west bank, a group of protestors marched right past us. Zomlot certainly, it will not be the iron dome. Simon right. Zomlot this will not be the area, you know, of security. It might be about prisoners. Most likely, it is about prisoners. Simon it was about prisoners, palestinians arrested by the israelis. People here have many complaints about their political and economic situation, but unlike hamas in gaza, the Palestinian Authority on the west bank hasnt fired any rockets at israel, and has been praised by israeli officials for maintaining law and order. But a more peaceful situation on the west bank hasnt led to renewed peace talks, and each side blames the other for the gridlock. Zomlot life is very normal in tel aviv. People are jogging on the beaches of tel aviv. There is a wall thats separating from whatever happening there. It doesnt concern them whatsoever. And this is the dynamics we are faced with. The reality is, until the Israeli Society feels some sort of a sense of crisis, a sense of an urgency, we will go nowhere. Simon surely, youre not suggesting that it would be better if rockets fell on tel aviv, or are you . Zomlot absolutely not. I think the u. S. Should tell them that our money comes with our advice. If you take our money, you better take our advice. For the last 25 years, you have been taking only our money and putting our advice aside. Simon the 270 million the u. S. Has provided israel to help build iron dome is in addition to the 3 billion israel gets annually from the u. S. In military aid. Palestinians complain that while all this u. S. Support is being given to israel, the Israeli Government has repeatedly defied u. S. Policy and approved the construction of new settlement blocks in the west bank. The americans have already given 270 million. Barak more than this, i believe, along the. Yeah. Simon and theyre promising, just for iron dome, another 660 million. Barak yeah. Yeah. 680. Probably 211 million might be given in the coming fiscal year. Simon while the americans are helping you so much in your defense, israel goes on building settlements, which is exactly what the americans dont want. How does that work, when youre asking america for help and doing exactly what the americans dont want you to do . Barak you know, bob, i. I prefer not to answer this question right now. You know, we are in the height of the election period. I basically think that the relationship, especially between our intelligence communities and our defense establishment, is extreme. Are extremely close. Simon you mean, between the israelis and the americans . Barak yeah. Extremely close. And, of course, we have certain differences. Simon but how does it work . I mean, right now, israel has Just Announced the building of a gigantic settlement project. This is at the same time that the americans are providing the money for israels most important defense system. Barak you know, we are highly grateful to the administration, to American People as a whole, for this support. I dont think that its relevant to the issue of iron dome. Simon israelis argue that americas commitment to their security must be kept separate from political disagreements between the u. S. And israel. Six israelis were killed in this latest battle with hamas. The u. N. Says more than 100 palestinians perished as the Israeli Air Force and navy pummeled targets in gaza. But hamas never surrendered. Despite iron dome, it kept firing rockets, and after a ceasefire was negotiated, hamass longexiled leader made a triumphant visit to gaza, claiming victory. So who won . Depends who you ask. The loser, again, is any prospect of peace, and no machine, however brilliantly designed, can fix that.

Or you can reckon africa mercy as a hospital 90 nurses, 15 doctors, 78 beds, and six operating rooms. One of the first doctors who invited us into surgery was gary parker, a maxillofacial surgeon who came to the ship on a lark. Gary parker and i remember saying to myself, when i get an opportunity, i want to come maybe for a few months and just see what this is about, see if im cut out of the right fabric for that kind of life. Pelley and how long have you been here . Parker 26 years. Bonjour. Pelley youll understand why he stayed when you see the ship at work, as we did, in togo, west
