You’re referring to the Iron Dome system, which is part of Israel’s layered defense system that also incorporates Patriot systems. Iron Dome was designed to thwart rockets and mortars, and had some limited success against the Gaza weapons fire because it requires several seconds to acquire and hit targets. When you’re dealing with short range weapons, those seconds aren’t there.
