And the problem with Iron Dome is that it can’t deal with kassams fired from short ranges - the kinds that keep slamming into Sderot.

First time I’ve known that “Iron Dome” is even implemented with missiles.

Guess they need a “chrome dome” that fires the business end of the interceptor out of a gun barrel, that should handle shorter-range stuff. Though 2km is pretty close range.

Though, if it were up to me, the best counter to a kassam, is a fully activated phaser bank … short of that, a B-52 loaded with 2,000 pound iron bombs.
