Creation of air defense system traces back to 2006 during second Lebanon War, Hezbollah fired 4,000 rockets in Israel killing and injuring many people and causing them to relocate. Especially the suffering was caused to the country’s largest city ‘Haifa’.

Therefore in 2007 Israel’s defense minister decided to use Iron Dome against the short range rocket threat. Eventually it was developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems in collaboration with Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Then Iron Dome became fully operational in April, 2011 and intercepted a “BM-21 Grad launched from Gaza for the first time.”Since then it is impeding hundreds of rockets and missiles from Gaza and Syria.
