Aerial attacks are taking place in Israel amidst war-like conditions. More than 1000 rockets were fired from Gaza, an Israeli-held anti-Israeli organization, in 40 hours between Monday and Wednesday. Israel has protected most of its population from these attacks because of the Iron Dome defense system. Know how Hamas and Israel are fighting the war ...
First, let's understand what is the matter
This struggle has been going on for at least 100 years in this area of the Middle East. There is a dispute over areas such as the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and Golan Heights. Palestine claims East Jerusalem, including these areas. At the same time, Israel is not ready to give up its claim to Jerusalem.
The latest controversy started from the month of Ramadan. There were reports of clashes between the Israeli police and the Palestinians in Jerusalem. Meanwhile, Israel began the work of removing Palestinian families from Sheikh Jarrah in East Jerusalem. In protest against this, violent demonstrations took place on the last day of Ramadan in al-Aqsa, the mosque in Jerusalem. From then on, Hamas began to fire rockets and became a war-like situation.
Two extremist organizations operating in Palestine remain under Israeli target. First- a politically powerful Hamas. Second- Palestinian Islamic Jihad ie PIJ. The most prominent of these is Hamas, which occupies the Gaza Patti. In the latest controversy, he is attacking Israel with a rocket.
In Israel's big city Hamas JD
There was a time when Hamas and PIJ received arms with the help of countries like Iran or through smuggling into the sea. Over the years, these organizations started making rockets on their own. Hamas has rocketed in the range of 100 to 160 km. This range is enough to cover many areas of Israel such as Tel Aviv, Ben-Gurion Airport, and Jerusalem. According to Israel's Intelligence report, Hamas has J-80, M-75, Fajr-5 Second Generation M-75 rockets.
Hamas's strength has increased 7 years ago
Israel believes that Hamas can have between 5 thousand and 6 thousand rockets. Hamas also has 40 thousand fighters. At the same time, PIK has 9 thousand combatants and 8 thousand short-range rockets. At the time of the 2014 war, Hamas fired more than four thousand rockets in 50 days. Just once in these 50 days, he fired 200 rockets a day. Later he had reduced this number.
According to the Israeli website The Jerusalem Post, this time the situation is different. This time Hamas fired 137 rockets in the initial 5 minutes of the attacks. So far, more than 1000 rockets have been fired from his side. His strength has increased. Most of the rockets he is firing on the Tel Aviv Corridor.
Israel's biggest hope is the Iron Dome
Now let's talk about the Iron Dome, which has so far kept a large population of Israel from Hamas rocket attacks. Iron Dome is an air defense system. It has been jointly prepared by Rafael Advanced Defense System and Israel Aerospace Industries. The US provided financial and technical help in this.
Iron Dome was activated in 2011. They aimed to destroy short-range rockets coming from Gaza into the air before falling to the ground. Another part of the Iron Dome is also for medium and long-range missiles. That is, it also can target missiles and drones fired from the fighter plane.
Iron Dome works on radar systems. Does radar look at whether there is a threat from a rocket coming towards Israel? When it is felt that a rocket is coming towards populated areas or critical buildings, signals are sent from the Battle Management Contrale, and interceptors are fired from mobile units or launch sites. Interceptors are vertical missiles. They burst into the sky near enemy rockets. Rockets destroy the sky. Only their debris falls on the ground.
This defense system is also not 100% reliable
According to the Washington Post news, different defense analysts have reported a success rate of 80 to 90% of Israel's Iron Dome. Michael Armstrong, associate professor at Canada's Brock University, who has studied the Iron Dome, says that no missile defense system is 100 percent reliable.
Rob Lee, who has worked in the US Marines and a Ph.D. from the War Studies Department at King's College London, says that if someone has a BM-21 Grad system, he can fire 40 rockets in 20 seconds. If there is a single battery or battalion with such a rocket system, it will fire 240 to 720 rockets in 20 seconds. No missile defense system in the world will stop such a rocket.
This drawback of the Iron Dome also shows that many rockets from Hamas managed to fall on the ground of Israel. This caused damage to many buildings. So far 5 Israeli people have died in this.
Then what options does Israel have
Israel's forces are powerful. Hamas' rockets are confronting the Iron Dome. Also, in the last two days, the Israeli Air Force has carried out more than 130 airstrikes on Hamas bases. Hamas has more than 500 targets on the Israeli Army and the Air Force. Israel has mostly fighter plane F-series, which are made in the US.
