The article (
Isreals - Palestinians Iron Dome) itself hardly touches on the technical merits of the
missile system. It mentions how there are hardly any public releases of
technical aspect to discuss, and that the handful of images of the
system in operation show intercept angles that are highly unlikely to be
successful. The core argument of the article is that the whole
situation is nothing more than a PR campaign on both sides.
Hamas
fires inaccurate artillery rockets, unlikely to actually hit anything,
at
Israel, under the hopes Israel counter-attacks and causes lots of
collateral damage that looks bad to international press.
Israel
produces a defense system and makes precision counter-attacks to prove
their technological and military prowess, and restraint in its use, to
international press.
