Some of the ways in which Hamas initially attacked Israel on the weekend — taking down communication towers with improvised explosives, paragliding over the border and gunning down civilians — subverted one of Israel's strongest defenses: its Iron Dome.
First deployed in 2011, the Iron Dome is a network of radar detectors and missile launchers that work together to intercept incoming rockets.
The highly sophisticated, multi-billion-dollar defense system has been under constant redevelopment since its inception in the early 2000s.
Here's how it works, who funds it, and why we don't see it in other parts of the world.

If Israel and Saudi Arabia make peace, I won't be surprised that Saudi Arabia would eventually buy the system. Also, that's not forget about their trophy anti anti-tank guided missile defense system. The US Army is testing it and I wouldn't be surprised that while Israel is gearing up to invade the Gaza strip, these systems are being put on tanks of the Israeli defense forces.
