A question for anyone in the know.

Regarding the rocket attacks into Israel.

Would a Patriot missile battery not be effective against these things? Do they just come in too low and too fast to knock out?

FWIW, I think that for the Patriot system to work you have to be dealing with something longer-ranged, with a trajectory that's more predictable than a Katyusha.
