Israel has deployed two anti-missile batteries Iron Dome near in the south after rocket fire from the Gaza Strip over the weekend, fearing a security escalation, Israeli media reported Sunday. The two Iron Dome anti-missile batteries were deployed near the southern towns of Sderot and Netivot following last week's rocket barrages to shield against more possible rockets. Iron Dome uses a unique interceptor with a special warhead that detonates the targets in the air within seconds.
     

On Friday evening, several rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip enclave towards the southern town of Sderot and the coastal town of Ashkelon. One rocket exploded near a house in Sderot and damaged a vehicle, but no injuries were reported.

In response Israel air raided several targets in the Gaza Strip before dawn on Saturday. Palestinian media outlets reported no injuries in the attack.

Last week Israel deployed an anti-missile battery Iron Dome near the town of Ashdod, 32 km south of Tel Aviv and 30 km north of the Gaza Strip. The move was made a day after the Israeli authorities arrested Mohammad Allan, a high-profile Palestinian prisoner who went on a two-month hunger strike.

The Rafael Iron Dome is the only dual mission counter rocket, artillery and mortar (C-RAM) and Very Short Range Air Defense (VSHORAD) system. Iron Dome is an affordable, effective and innovative defense solution (CR&AM Class) to the asymmetric threats of short-range rockets, (up to and over 70 km), and mortars as well as VSHORAD Missiles System (up to 10 km) against traditional Air Defense targets.

Iron Dome is an advanced defense system, designed for quick detection, discrimination and interception of rockets & mortar threats with ranges of up to and over 70 km and against aircraft, helicopters, UAVs and PGMs. The system is effective in all weather conditions, including low clouds, rain, dust storms or fog.
