Original Note:
Iron Dome is not 100% effective, but this is not a good metric as it is not designed to intercept every missile. After the radar identifies the projectile, it calculates the trajectory to determine if it is going to hit an urban area or not. If not, nothing is launched. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/10/09/world/iron-dome-israel-defense-explained-intl-dg/index.html https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-20385306
