Israel's Iron Dome missile defence system has helped protect the country against rockets fired by Hamas.
The Israeli military says that without it, casualties would have been "far higher" during the current conflict. However, some rockets have fallen on built-up areas.

..."In just two weeks, Hamas has fired 7,000 rockets toward Israel, according to the Israeli military. That is more than any of the previous four wars fought between Israel and Hamas since the militant group seized power in Gaza in 2007.
On Oct. 7 alone, when Hamas attacked inside Israel, killing more than 1,400 people, the majority civilians, the militant group launched at least 2,000 rockets, according to data from West Point. Israel has since bombarded Gaza with airstrikes, killing more than 5,700, mostly civilians, according to Gaza’s Hamas-run Health Ministry, whose numbers have not been independently verified.
Lebanon's militant Hezbollah group has also fired hundreds of rockets along Israel's northern front since the fighting began.
Most of the rockets have been intercepted. But some have managed to get through, killing at least 11 people and hitting buildings as far away as Tel Aviv, according to Israeli officials."...
