“Iron Dome” will be perhaps one of the phrases which will be remembered most from the current battle between Israel and the Gaza-based Hamas terrorists.
Over 300 rockets aiming at Israeli cities and army bases were shot down over the last 7 days alone, demonstrating an 80% success rate.
Produced by Israeli-based Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, the system detects launches of rockets and can fire an interceptor with a special warhead that strikes the incoming rocket within seconds.
During one of the days of the battle, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak came to inspect one of the locations were the Iron Dome batteries are deployed.
A COLlive photographer was permitted to document the visit, but not to identify its location.
A few other Lubavitchers were present as well and they told the Minister about prayers that are being said around the world for Israel.
The system in action was filmed by an Israeli citizen and was sent to COLlive:
I believe these pictures were taken by the iron dome that’s stationed right outside kfar chabad
so what are you waiting for
It’s that guy… the one that in the year 2000 wanted to give away Jerusalem?
Oh… how safe I feel now.

#8 IS THE BEST> THROW THEM BACK AT HAMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hashem pls watch over the soldiers and jewish civilians in isereal
Only country in the world that gives full access to journalists of sensitive military installations & places. No hidden WMD there, yet it still isn’t good enough because Israel dares to defend herself. What a sick world.
We’re so chassidish on col, quoting posukim!! Kah!!! 🙂
the iron dome should throw them back to hamas, then the rockets will stop.
These holy and selfless Jewish soldiers are such neshamas and their parents as well whose children defend our land, our people in Israel and all over the world. Thank you and may Hashem protect your bodies and your souls and we should rejoice with you immediately in your success.
The ones that are not stopped, Hashem stops!
K’HEREF AYIN – IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE….
May the enemies of Israel be destroyed, like the the iron dome destroys those vicious rockets.
7. A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.
8. Only with your eyes shall you behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9. Because you, O Lord, are my refuge. You have made the most High your habitation;
יִפֹּל מִצִּדְּךָ | אֶלֶף וּרְבָבָה מִימִינֶךָ אֵלֶיךָ לֹא יִגָּֽשׁ
7. A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.

It’s g-d who controls the rockets and its he who’s eyes are on the land of israel הנה לא ינום ולא ישן שומר ישראל they can shoot a thousand but its g-d makes sure no one gets hurt for its the safest place in the world, and from the passed news that’s the proof {ז}יִפֹּ֤ל מִצִּדְּךָ֨ ׀ אֶ֗לֶף וּרְבָבָ֥ה מִימִינֶ֑ךָ אֵ֝לֶ֗יךָ לֹ֣א יִגָּֽשׁ׃
