Israel spent $50,000 to stop a Hamas rocket.
Karachi (News Desk) Israel has to spend up to 50 thousand dollars to stop a Hamas rocket. According to a researcher at the Israeli Institute for National Security Studies, the cost of intercepting each rocket is between 40,000 and 50,000 dollars, Bloomberg reports. Israel has ten mobile batteries installed across the country by mid-2021, according to US military contracting company Raytheon Technologies, which began joint production of the Iron Dome with the system's creator, Israel's Rafale Advanced Defense Systems, in 2014. According to Raytheon Technologies, each battery has three to four launchers intended to defend a populated area of 155 square kilometers. The system is designed to work effectively in all types of weather. Iron Dome was originally built without US assistance, but in 2011 Israel's main ally, the US, began financing the program. Some anti-missile batteries are manufactured in the US.
