Israel is well-prepared to defend against potential air attacks from Iran, thanks to its robust arsenal and experience in dealing with militant groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. One of Israel's most renowned air defense systems is the Iron Dome, which has successfully intercepted thousands of rockets and drones launched by these groups in recent years, boasting an impressive 90% success rate according to Israeli manufacturer Rafael Defense Systems.
While the Iron Dome has proven effective, it does have its limitations. Some rockets have managed to penetrate its defenses, as seen in recent attacks by Hezbollah. The system is most effective against short-range threats, with a radar range of 4 to 70 kilometers (approximately 2.5 to 43 miles).
