Iron Dome selectively picks off more incoming missiles

Eight missiles fired from Gaza Monday before noon, some intercepted by Iron Dome.

Of the two Grads aimed at Beersheba, one was intercepted by Iron Dome, the second eluded the battery and exploded on open ground on the town’s outskirts. Two more Grads were fired at Ashdod, with the same result – one shot down, the second hitting open ground. The Iron Dome posted at Ashdod then saved Gan Yavne from an incoming Grad.
DEBKAfile’s military sources: The Iranian and Hizballah missile experts attached to the Palestinian terrorist commands have clearly not managed to find an electronic gap in the Israeli missile defense weapon through which to sneak their rockets to target in Israeli cities.
On the fourth day of the Gaza missile offensive, Palestinians reported two killed, 25 injured in a string of Israeli air strikes against terrorist targets. Jihad Islami leaders are beginning to realize Israel is preparing for a long haul and appear to be spreading out their missile launchings more thinly.
Gaza’s ruling Hamas has called on all Palestinian organizations “to unify their responses to Zionist aggression” adding that a truce was unacceptable without an Israel guarantee to stop the targeted killings.
