Israel, which launched one of the heaviest bombing operations on Gaza since the beginning of the war last night, is on alert again due to problems with its Iron Dome air defense system.
Israeli TV Channel 13 published pictures showing the ineffectiveness of the Iron Dome system in southern Tel Aviv.
According to the pictures, one of the rockets launched from Gaza deviated backwards and collided with a Jewish settlement in the Rishon LeZion area in Israel. It was noted that the system was able to repel some of the missiles fired towards Tel Aviv.
Israeli media reported that the Iron Dome system was no longer effective enough on the Gaza border and was unable to repel many rockets.
Israel evacuated thousands of people living in settlements near the border due to rockets fired from Gaza.
Discussions about the malfunction of Iron Dome, which was of great importance to Israel’s security, gained momentum especially after the attacks carried out by Hamas on October 7.
The entry of Israeli forces into Gaza by land is still continuing.
