Which territorial boundaries are you speaking about? Israel occupied Gaza between 1967 and 2005 and never annexed it. Since 2005, Israeli troops are only visiting Gaza periodically, after accumulating some threshold amount of noisy (and sometimes lethal) invitations from Hamas, but never stay there for a long time, as then the noise of rockets is joined by noise of that special kind of peace lovers who care about peace only if it gives them excuse to blame Jews; when Arabs kill Arabs in neighboring Syria, these peace lovers seem to be quiet and happy. And, do you indeed believe that we are enslaving Gazans by remote control? Really insightful!

Thanks for at least not claiming that you aren't antisemitic, stjobe!. I would like to see how YOUR country would behave if its neighbours (backed by most of Muslim world and not-so-small part of Christian world) were promised to totally destroy it and were illustrating their intentions by missile and terror attacks...

- Sure that not every criticism of Israel is antisemitism. But mentioing "just" by the way, as an "obvious well-known" fact, that Israel is an apartheid state commiting war crimes, can't be called "criticism"...

- First of all, isn't the indiscriminate shooting of rockets from Gaza to Israeli vilages and cities the worst kind of collective punishment? Second, have you been in Gaza or at least saw TV reports from there? Does it look to you "uninhabitable"? The place which indeed will become uninhabitable if blockade will be removed without changing the regime in Gaza, is Israel - as removal of blokade will allow Hamas and other terrorist organizations residing there to obtain much more destructive missiles...

And, regarding the main topic and some not-so-knowledgeble comments: Iron Dome wasn't designed to intercept any kind of missiles. There is another system under develoment which should handle ballistic missiles. Also, most of 1500 rockets launched against Israel during last round of violence had either too short range to be intercepted or hit areas which were out of range of deployed Iron Dome batteries. Iron Dome intercepted mainly missiles with range of 40km (Rusisiam "Grad") and 75 km (Iranian "Fajer" and its Gazan copies) - and only those which were supposed to hit inhabited areas in the range of given battery. It intrecepted much more than "dozens" missiles - something about 300.
