| #3 It's part of a multi-layered defense. For the big missiles launched from Iran, Israel and the US have PAC-3, Patriot, and Arrow anti-missiles. Over the horizon detection is done with X-Band radar. This leaves an estimated tens of thousands of smaller rockets and missiles from Syria, Lebanon, Gaza and possibly the West Bank, many of which are believed to be able to hit Tel Aviv. So this is where Iron Dome comes into play. |
