WATCH: What is the Iron Dome?

Israel’s groundbreaking defense system demonstrates its strength over the weekend, intercepting 90 percent of Gaza missiles aimed at civilian populations • Though incredibly effective, the operation of the defense system is costly: each interceptor missile is estimated to cost $50,000, while a battery costs approximately $45 million • Israel has three operational Iron Dome batteries.
