Israel’s Iron Dome system has been used for more than a decade, the country relying on it as rockets flood the skies amid the war with Hamas. NBC’s Molly Hunter explains how it works.

#Israel #IronDome #Defense
People got to wake up!! Is no Alah ,no God ,no Jehová ,only Us and the Devil(government).A lot of earthquakes and war in Muslim countries because muslim people is the most primitive people on earth
Israel wasn’t a country before 1948. They took over the land and built a country in 1948. This is history.
A Palestinian rocket costs $300.
An Iron Dome rocket costs $20 – $100,000 (depending on who you ask)
Even at the lowest price point of $20,000, that’s American tax dollars paying for it.
I am flabbergasted that Americans continue to be sheep and pay their taxes so it can be used in foreign wars by America and its corrupt war criminal allies.
Each second = knock knock on me and my gets up
Split it
I got this I’ll be back bide
We’ve given Ukraine over 200 billion in less than 5 years. That’s more than we given Israel in the past 30..
They’re grown let them pay for there own defense, there’s so much that the US people need that money for… and are we not in debt?
I have many many relatives who work at Raytheon in Massachusetts for many years
Shhh we don’t talk about those things if u don’t want to be a target for the craziness 🤷♀️
@paisleydreamz your right
Interesting information.
Fantastic report, Molly Hunter. Thank you!
😂 don’t
Why can’t Israel pay for this themselves? We are 33 trillion in the hole
How are we going to supply Israel and Ukraine and whatever other places we are supplying with ammo and weapons and money and have enough left for ourselves? These things aren’t unlimited.
if this AA-System can intercept hypersonic cruise and ballistic missiles it extremely needed in Ukraine.
So they can operate on 2 billion since 2011 explain why ukraine needs 100 billion a now after all we have all ready sent we are being fleeced right in the open!!!!!
Palestine should buy that too .
Great defensive shield!
Does not work….
Yes it does. Only a few get through.
straw dome😂
@eagle shadowFantastic defensive shield keeping Israel safe from Arab aggression.
@Ivan Kinsman ☹️
Why don’t we just invade whoever is firing the rockets in the first place? Ik a lot goes into it but still…
👍👍
I know they need help, but so do we!!
What is the cost of each missile vs the low tech rocket it destroys?🤔. How much of this expense could have been used to improve the poor humanitarian conditions, which was taken advantage to justify this crime in the first place? Just some💭
Why do you arm other countries with billions of dollars in weapons, when your homeless vets are starving and sleeping in the dirt?
Yall hate people on welfare, eating them crab legs once in a while, but LOOVVVEE giving Isreal TRILLIONS of free dollars and we get nothing in return. We just give them BILLIONS every year….But yeah, keep blaming poor people on welfare for our insane debt levels.
I’m from Israel Iron Dome is our development… The geniuses Elbit and Raphael did this thing that gives us peace because it intercepts a lot!
And about the United States, my favorite country
They invested in this thing that they didn’t believe was possible at all, it sounded like science fiction to them
And they have an interest because only Israel and the United States have this tool…
Are you living there? Stay safe from USA!
NBC, all Israeli propaganda all the time.
Ukraine should get that
Stupid war
So what about Gaza saving lives??
Isn’t it weird that the US is in every other countrie’s war ?
The eternal war is an excellent tool for social control, helping people give up their freedoms, burning up excess gross national product so people have lower standard of living and obviously give a slanty eyed, dark skinned external enemy behind which to align the population. One of the most important and profitable tools of social control ever invented, been highly effective for millenia and doesn’t seem to be wavering anytime soon.
Made in America. Ratheon 👍 👍
Smart ❤❤❤❤
Why are we not selling it to them they have the money?
How come the incoming missiles are never visible?
the fuel has been used.
@jrmardis there’s gotta be at least one video where you can se one
Pretty disgusting a country has to put a very expensive iron dome in to protect its people. Monkeys firing rockets at them
While the veterans suffer homelessness.
Wow Be Careful Fer The citizens around In population & The Children can get hit. Bewear of Schools & Living area’s !❤
You have a criminal in the white house and babies being beheaded with the money Joe Biden gave them , and here is fake news hiding the truth. Sad day indeed.
Werent they using patriot batteries before this for the exact same purpose? I mean i get building their own system regardless.
STOP sending them money you steal from us! The majority of us DO NOT care and want the money to be used here in the USA
Main stream media calls it Palestine-Israeli War that so wrong. It’s is an occult covert global conspiracy, hamas started an unprovoked war and responsible for the death and destruction of Palestinian and Israelis. These planners wanted Israel to make mistakes by targeting innocent civilians and that happened. These occult conspirators want to create global unrest and a fake end times scenario and make money of the situation. Every war is banker’s war…may peace prevail…
700 per FAMILY for thoses burned out of their homes in hawaii though.
I pray Israel 🇮🇱 is protected and the evil of Hamas is destroyed. GOD BLESS Israel 🇮🇱
God bless those who are victims to military conflict/terrorism. If someone launched rockets into Texas, we would have already been invading them (United States). An unfortunate truth, companies that supply iron dome are doing very well now, as if that wasn’t a topic of discussion at the “conspiracy” dinner table.
And yet Israel will still fall 🥰🥰🥰
The question is, why didn’t “iron dome” work against the first wave of missiles fired from Gaza? Really, if anyone knows, why?
Because the people that own everything (Rothschilds) told the Israeli Military to stand down. They want conflict everywhere so they can justify their New World Order.
Israel has not designed it , they got it for free from usa
Kid like graphic. Perfect for me but the kid in me says to turn the launcher around.
We got the research and own the tech and now it is time to stop spending on this
Hey! I got the chrome dome and it better than Star wars defenses.
Piden is happy to embezzle money through his embezzling machines call ally wars.
Can we have an iron dome??👀
We already do.
It’s called SkyHunter
Brilliant and fascinating!
Yeah in action…you zionist will see Allahs power..you plot and plan, but Allahu Akbar…look how many mihgty kingdom Allah has destroyd…all over the world…just wait and see
Why do you people share this type of information
We
they copied Fortnite with the iron dome
Absolutely genius ❤🙏
When are Jews going to stop voting for Democrats that hate Jews and support Iran? Obama, Biden, BLM and most of the woke and Climate crowd are best examples. Ironically, the only friends of Jews are the evangelical Christians.
America’s support for Israel is absolutely crazy. They say they support democratic, peaceful countries. Yet, they support a nation that has oppressed and occupied a people and a nation for decades. Shame on you!
Its inreresting how the media never shows soldiers of Israel sexually assaulting Palestinian girls on the regular. Then again, who OWNS the media?
That is very useful.
“Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering hamas and transferring money to Hamas “- Netanyahu 2019
(Netanyahu’s comments Didn’t age well did they?)
There is an Iron Dome protecting the ENTIRE Continental USA.
I’m scared need to stock up on can foods, stay strong
Not that I don’t sympathize with them but how about you help us here at home first
Other countries can arm themselves, but the US govt wants to take arms away from its own people
Why do we have to pay everybody that’s in trouble, we don’t even help our own citizens with basic needs.
So why it doesn’t work against russian weapons?😂😂
Ukraine don’t have the iron dome system. Or at least they didn’t have it for years like Israel.
So nice of president Biden to say he smssnsa blinksn irona wink blamm blam, pure generosity.
its like beautiful fireworks
Sending Billions. When our own infrastructure is crumbling
Diffetent budgets.
Best money ever spent
It didn’t
This is some ‘Star Wars’ ish.
No wonder our info structure in USA is so antiquated or non existent- Billions upon billions tax dollars sent to religious wars of Israel
Why do we have to pay for their security? Oh yeah they make our guns right? Instead of sending money to terrorist we should use that money for student loan debt here in our country
2.5B $??? Seriously! 😡 like they don’t have anywhere else to put money towards…
How about saving lives here in US. We got plenty of that…! Start with economy…
You dont want to pay taxes, afraid of socialism, liberalism what do you expect? All these complaints start look like a russian bot farm
Picture, if you will, a world where mainstream media is created by Artificial Intelligence.
You are in the Twilight Zone.
Yet we don’t see a single iron dome rocket flying or it’s trail?.. something definitely fishy about this whole thing
I thought it was the trails we saw, that the hamas rocket were on their end stage
Molly Hunter explains why just because it’s called the “iron dome” it doesn’t mean it’s actually an iron dome ! Mind boggling report.🤯
Just goes to show what we can achieve when we work together…
Whatever. If 4billion dollars a year can’t protect a nuclear power with a robust air force from Hamas, who’s to say throwing more money at them will change anything?
Unfortunately Each missile must be a lot more expensive than the cheap rockets they intercept.
It’s on the USA’s tab, so they don’t really care.
I read the interceptor rockets cost $50,000 each, which means Israel has spend about 225 million dollars shooting down rockets.
Missile Command! 😅
NBC should be called out by the UN and human rights advocates for *propagandizing* the murder of innocent non-militant Palestinian civilians. NBC supports this sick genocide like a sports event with death score stats and tutorials. Sick!
Iron dome is overrated so are IDF and Mossad 😅😅
That’s crazy. Sending a country billings a year for defense when children in your own country have to go to school hungry everyday or only eat once a day. The government doesn’t have any money. They take our money and give it to other countries to further some goal it has later on that me and the rest of you will never know about or benefit from
Israel has Iron dome and Hamas has Mosque dome.
I feel like this defense system is extremely exploitable. They could just fire in rockets whose guidance systems don’t kick in till after the radar determines it’s going to land in the desert, then at the last minute it’s guidance systems kick in and take it to its target. I hope there’s contingencies for that situation
D*** lady tell the enemy everything
We got a plethora of starving children some homeless in the US yet we send billions to these other countries for weapons and “aid”. Makes no sense whatsoever
More western media only showing one side of the conflict and not the actual genocide ongoing.
Can we pledge 3 billion to our homeless problem? Can we pledge 3 billion into helping the outrageous home prices/rent hikes? I feel like we keep pledging all this money to causes that we have no place in. ESPECIALLY A RELIGIOUS WAR!!!
