Hamas Highlights Failure of Israel’s ‘Iron Dome’ in Recent Confrontation
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Israel’s so-called Iron Dome missile system failed to stop Hamas missiles during the regime's recent confrontation with the movement, Ezzedeen al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the resistance group, said.
“The Qassam Brigades, thanks to God, succeeded in overcoming the so-called Iron Dome by adopting the tactic of firing dozens of missiles in one single burst, he said,” Abu Obeida, a spokesman for the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, said in a social media post on Monday.
“The high intensity of fire and the great destructive ability of the missiles that were introduced by the Qassam (Brigades)… succeeded in causing great losses and destruction to the enemy,” he said.
Israeli aerial assaults on Gaza promoted the most intense fighting between the regime and Gaza-based Palestinian resistance fighters since Tel Aviv’s bloody war on the blockaded enclave in 2014.
In retaliation, the Palestinian resistance fighters fired around 700 rockets from Gaza into the occupied territories, killing four Israeli settlers and injuring at least 80 others over the weekend.
