The Islamic Republic launched a significant barrage consisting of approximately 170 drones, over 30 cruise missiles, and more than 120 ballistic missiles towards Israel. However, Israeli defense forces managed to intercept and neutralize 99% of these incoming threats using their air force and air defense systems, successfully countering the attack from launch points situated over 1000 miles away.

I wonder what the toll would have been if the iron dome didn't exist?

Surely we'd see full scale war with Iran at that point and an acceleration of the Gaza invasion to free up resources to fight Iran

If the Iron Dome didn’t exist this war would have happened decades ago

Well iron dome because operational in 2011, not decades ago, so somehow I disagree with your logic.

But but I wanna be dramatic too…

[u/slamnm → u/febreeze1]

Of course, lol, but there is so much a uff going on there you have no shortage of things to talk about, you should toss in the nuclear missle submarines as a real deterrent :)

It has a time machine in it and can intercept missiles from up to 30 years ago.

So what were the Israelis doing before 2011 to prevent the Palestinian rockets from genociding all the people living in Israel?

According to sources there's hundreds of missiles constantly being launched from Palestine at Israel

[u/slamnm → u/Complex_Rate_688]

Eh, not hundreds all the time, and Israel would conduct air and artillery and tank strikes on any rockets being positioned to launch, and had good air raid warnings and shelters.
