Iron Dome Intercepts Rocket Attack On Israel In Incredible Videos
A pair of stunning videos show the Iron Dome in Israel going to work against a rocket attack launched from Lebanon.
Israel continues to battle Hamas in Gaza and there's growing tensions on the border with Lebanon amid fears a broader conflict could unfold against Hezbollah.
There have been multiple attacks on both sides of the Israeli/Lebanese border, but so far, no broader war has been sparked. However, that hardly means the situation is de-escalating.
That was on full display during a massive rocket barrage launched on Kiryat Shmona by the Lebanese terrorist group. The Iron Dome defense system, a system AOC once cried over being funded, was fired up to defend the area, and the footage of the rockets being intercepted is nothing short of incredible.
Give it a watch below, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
The Iron Dome is an incredible piece of military equipment.
The Iron Dome is one of the most impressive military marvels in modern history. It was designed by the Israelis and Americans, and has a great record of success.
The system operates by tracking incoming rockets or missiles and then responds by firing its own missiles to intercept the enemy fire.
A lot of people think the Iron Dome missiles directly hit incoming rockets or missiles. It's a common misconception. That's not how it works. The Iron Dome projectiles simply blow up near enemy fire, and that's enough to destroy incoming fire.
Think of it like an incredible amount of buckshot being thrown up in the air in order to hit whatever might be coming. That's a bit of a simple explanation, but it will make sense to anyone who is familiar with shotguns. Similar concept, but a lot more advanced.
The piece of equipment is also incredibly important when it comes to keeping Israel safe. The Israelis face the constant threat of rocket attacks from Gaza and Lebanon. The Iron Dome provides the Israeli people a solid level of protection that truly minimizes the risks of incoming attacks. Despite AOC's tears, the system is the definition of a necessity.
