could get used to this I am sure Eilatians will eventually..just give them enough time & rockets. Cynical? I don't think so.

Deborah ,   Eilat   (04.17.13)
I would like to correct the report about the siren. The rockets fell then the siren sounded, not the other way round.
4. Thanks G-D,no injuries.

Iron Dome detects launches but does not intercept.

11.  fortune teller
sam ,   colorado   (04.17.13)
without causing injury or damage and the rockets were apparently fired from the Sinai,something funny and disgusting at the same time,the best thing to ask a fortune teller and ask him where it came from these missiles?so I am very surprised and I wonder where the Iron Dome? you need a fortune teller is better than Iron Dome.
12. To #11 Sam from Colorado
Amir ,   Isreal, Jerusalem   (04.17.13)
You should read up on how iron dome operates first, then post comments. Iron dome will not intercept rockets that are expected to couse no damage, this is the ginius of iron dome. Every intercepted is worth over $300000 . But you clearly don't know this.
13. It's not easy
sam ,   colorado   (04.17.13)
Before a rocket for a rocket.It's not that easy as you think
14. #5 - based upon where the rockets would land
William ,   Israel   (04.17.13)
Iron Dome only intercepts rockets targeting built up areas.
15. TO12 Amir from Isreal
sam ,   colorado   (04.17.13)
Certainly I know how iron dome operates it well but the thing that you don't know it and I'd like to say something Iron Dome doesn't able to prevent of direct rockets even Magic Wand too, because this kind of missiles,it so cheap,reach a great depth and very influential,difficult equation,thousands of rockets does not cost anything in front of the cost of one of the Iron Dome missile
16. Why, oh why
Jake   (04.17.13)
are bombs not being send to Gaza. It takes only one bomb to scare the shit out of those ragheads?
17. Islamic attacks
Syd Chaden ,   Palermo Calif USA   (04.18.13)
There can be no resolution of the problem of Islamic attacks on Israel, until the religious origin of the attacks is recognized and dealt with. The Islamic doctrine of death to infidels is the root cause of the Islamic terrorism that plagues the world. While Western leaders have largely chosen to avoid addressing it, it is a very serious matter to Muslims. Sunnis and Shiites each consider the other to be infidels, and they have been killing each other for centuries, for that reason. Killing in furtherance of the doctrine continues to this day, in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Mali, Sudan, Libya, Iraq and Syria, to name just a few of the affected countries. The recent fatwas specifically name Jews and Israel as targets of the doctrine. Since the origin of the doctrine is religious, a response must be impressive to those who practice the religion. Retaliatory strikes mean nothing to people who celebrate suicide bombers as martyrs. Israel should implant explosives around the Al Aksa Mosque, and declare that any further Muslim attacks on Israel will bring the destruction of the Mosque. Then, Muslim clerics can either issue fatwas against any further attacks on Israel, or they can see their Mosque destroyed. Even if the Mosque was destroyed, Israel would face no greater danger than it does now, and Israel could clear the site and begin reconstruction of the Jewish Temple.
