Rafael Chairman Yuval Steinitz said today, Monday, that Israel’s Iron Dome system intercepted nearly 99% of the roughly 40,000 rockets fired by Hamas and Hezbollah since October 2023.

Steinitz said Iran has also launched around 1,500 ballistic missiles at Israel in two major attack waves since 2024, with “only a few dozen” managing to evade interception.

He added that Israel currently faces no shortage of interceptor missiles for its air defense systems.
