1) There are 4 AESA radars which scan 360 grad around the tank. When they detect incoming missile, they calculate its trajectory and if its going to hit the tank they launch the countermeasure.

2) There are also 2 rotating countermeasures (1 on each side of the turret), which fire explosively formed projectiles towards the missile and provide 360 grad protection.

Example of test interception:

Combat interception:

RPG-29 round approaches the tank:

Trophy activated, RPG-29 round explodes in the air:

Destroyed RPG-29 round continues flying towards the tank (u can see that in test interception as well):

Hamas was not pushed into the war, hamas started this war.
They kidnapped and killed 3 Israeli children. Not content with that, they then started massive rocket attacks on Israel.

It was only after this that Israel decided to respond.

Secondly, you are again wrong on the logic of 'why this operation is a failure for Israel'. Tell me, do you know what happens when if one US military pilot is down and a whole bunch of soldiers go and try to save him. The result is that many more American soldiers get killed while saving the one pilot.

If your cost-benefit is simply on the number of Israelis killed then you are missing the big picture compeltely. The Israeli military action is intended to convey that Palestinian actions of killing Israeli children and rocket fire on Israel will not go unanswered. That Israel will not silently sit and watch while Hamas keeps firing on Israel. This would only embolden the terrorist groups to try more and more to kill Israelis.

Ofcourse more Israeli's would die when they undertook military action, but the result would be far more devastating for Palestine and Hamas. And that is what Israel wants. To assure everyone that they will not sit by if they are attacked even if some lives are lost in the process.
