The rag heads will just wrap their munitions in tinfoil.

An amusing notion, but that method would not be effective.

The main limiting factor on laser weapons would be their slow rate of fire. A missile swarm can defeat them unless you have a large number of laser cannons.

A first wave that disperses clouds of chaff might blind tracking systems for long enough that a second wave could get through.

No doubt the laser defense systems have become far more capable in the last two years. Ironically, there were some great videos streaming from Al-Jazeera which showed IDF knockouts of missiles from Gaza with their laser weapons. They were explained as "lens flares".
