I will do an in-depth post on Israel’s air defense systems later, but the point of the first waves was to expend and probe their air defenses with older missiles and drones, like last time. We already saw massively increased response time, firepower, and effectiveness in that regard, so expect to see large hypersonic strikes. Although we may not get as many “yow yow” videos due to censorship.
Are these being intercepted by the iron dome?
No. Iron dome is for short range rockets, mostly from Lebanon and Gaza. These are intercepted by much larger and more expensive systems.
