Oh that's not a lot at all. A single Iron Dome battery has 60-80 missiles and of course no one is going to launch entire barrage in one place at once (plus, overall stocks of missiles can't be high, i mean even Russia can't manufacture more than ~1.5 Iskanders per day, and those launched from Iran must be more expensive simply because of size).
As we can see, a smallish minority of them slip through so any damage to Israel can only be psychological/due to disruption of civilian life because of sheltering, disturbed sleep due to alarms etc. No actual damage as in - meaningfully reducing Israel's capacity to wage war, is possible.
- tguvot 1y agoiron dome doesn't intercept ballistic missiles.
- anovikov 1y agoApparently, after 2021 upgrades, it does. Videos of Iron Dome use have been posted multiple times in the last days and Israel was only under attack from Iran ballistic missiles.
- tguvot 1y agoNo, it doesn't. Check Wikipedia
- treesknees 1y agoFrom Wikipedia, “During Iran’s Operation True Promise III Iron Dome was found to have intercepted 20-30% of ballistic missiles.[199]” [199] https://bulgarianmilitary.com/amp/2025/06/15/iron-dome-shocks-by-stopping-30-of-irans-ballistic-missiles/ https://bulgarianmilitary.com/amp/2025/06/15/iron-dome-shock... > This unexpected success, rooted in years of technological evolution, underscores a broader misunderstanding of the system’s capabilities and its place in Israel’s defense architecture. So per your own source, it indeed can and does intercept ballistic missiles.

- treesknees 1y agoI’m not sure what you’re implying. Are you suggesting that the source on Wikipedia is unreliable? Why would you recommend reading Wikipedia in this situation?
