Problem is, 0.01% can ruin your whole day. If one out of 100 gets through and lands on you head, thre’s no headache. There’s no head.

usually two are fired at rockets slated for interception.

Shouldn't they be firing three?

1 to intercept
1 to make sure you intercept
1 to see if the Palestinian population centers are protected by an Iron Dome system

Still the wrong way of handling this.

The proper procedure would be one round of 155 mm arty counterbattery fire for every rocket launched.

Don’t tell me it can’t be done, either. With the systems available today, you can pinpoint a launch site seconds after the first rocket lifts. A good team of cannon-cockers can have steel rain down on that position fast enough to get the launchers, and of course, the launchees.

And I don’t give a rat’s hind end if it’s a mosque, a hospital or even an orphanage. Once it became clear that EVERY rocket would get the same treatment, the Pallies would stop the launch turds from setting them up.

Hopefully they will eventually be able to shoot them down so soon after launch that they land in Lebanon where they came from.
