This marks the FIRST TIME in the world that short range rockets have been intercepted.
Though, I do believe that it is important to focus of the success of the deployment and some others will focus on the potential rising costs to the deployment of Iron Dome if Hamas continues the barrage of rockets into Israel (the system is supposed to be able to tell if the rockets will hit a populated area and then deploy and if it will avoid a population zone, the system will not intercept), I think the focus should be on where money IS spent.
Israel is spending billions of dollars to protect its civilians in a purely defensive strategy - this system, bomb shelters, tests run by the Home Front command on dispensing gas masks, etc., while the Hamas and others (inclusive of the Palestinian Authority) spend no money on their people's defense, choosing instead to spend their money on terrorist infrastructure or weaponry.
