It's limited by physics - as of now, if Israel needs long-range interdiction they use the missile-based Iron Dome instead.
There's reports of drones armed with bombs shot down by the Iron Dome system.
> a full scale barrage of artillery
I don't think any system currently deployed has the capability of disrupting artillery/rocket barrages, mostly one-of events.
Even the SDI initiative "Excalibur" project would only really worked in space (you don't want to detonate nuclear weapons very close to you, or scatter X-rays in the atmosphere instead of the target)
