«The Iron Dome» in Israel has become a relevant topic due to a missile attack from Iran. Ballistic missiles were launched on Tuesday, October 1, and the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) promised in a statement that they «are doing and will do everything necessary to protect the citizens of the State of Israel».
According to CBS News, during the missile attack from Iran, IDF informed people about how they were protecting them. According to a statement received by the publication, IDF said: «The explosions you hear are from interceptions or falls [of rockets]. The missile defense system constantly detects and intercepts threats».
The «Iron Dome» missile defense system was created to protect Israel from incoming short-range weapons, reports BBC News. The «Iron Dome» has batteries located throughout the territory of Israel, and each battery has launchers for launching intercepting missiles.
The «Iron Dome» was created after Israel’s conflict with the Hezbollah militant group in 2006. Israeli army representative Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus previously stated that «the number of Israeli casualties would have been much higher if not for the 'Iron Dome' system, which always saves lives», - reports BBC News.
The Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations, New York, released a statement on October 1 when rockets were launched at Israel. The statement, posted on X (previously known as Twitter), says: «Iran's legal, rational, and legitimate response to the terrorist acts of the Zionist regime, including attacks on Iranian citizens and interests and violation of the national sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran, has been duly executed. If the Zionist regime dares to respond or commit further atrocities, a subsequent and crushing response will follow. Regional states and supporters of Zionists are advised to distance themselves from the regime»
