The Iron Dome system has detected machine-gun fire from missiles fired from the Strip. The IDF is now investigating how such a mistake occurred
Apr 21, 2022 @ 10:33
The Iron Dome system identified, on Thursday morning, April 20, heavy machine gun fire from the Gaza Strip as if missiles had been fired. The interception system was activated and the IDF announced that it had intercepted four missiles. It is now being investigated how such an error occurred.
During the firing of machine guns, alarms were sounded in the Gaza Envelope and residents entered protected areas.

So hard to believe how that "error" can happen.

You can just imagine the sensitive nature of its target acquisition system, one credit I will give the Israeli's they intercept and kill the target and ask questions later whereas we let the missile land in our territory (deep) and then ask questions.

You can just imagine the sensitive nature of its target acquisition system, once credit I will give the Israeli's they intercept and kill the target and ask questions later whereas we let the missile land in our territory (deep) and then ask questions.

but our radar dome is better some guy on hill will alert military a incoming missile.

and you believed it , if it detect gun shot and response to it by wasting several million dollar worth of missile ,then the morons who designed it must reduce its sensitivity , by the way it was not the first time they fired guns from Gaza into Israel , why the system didn't react previous times

why shoot gun, just throw a few shekels the israelis will give away their position.

I guess the key to deceive the system is first launch real rockets, and then fire gunshots from the same position. Maybe it's the first time that it happens in that order.

Anyway, it's hard to believe.

No, and this is why Pakistanis aren’t know to think the outside the box and fail in creating a narrative. Just read the situation from an Israeli point of view, gun shots ring out your system responds and obliterates the said position without putting your men/women at risk for identification of where it came from. On top any collateral damage is justifiable as the system responded to a threat even if hidden in civilian areas, right then an there the bad guys are Gazans.

Because they have Entire Western Power on their back, we don't even have our own People or our own army, That is why Israel can do that to their enemies and we can't do shit.

Defending something the of that small of a size with radars and AA systems with low terrain isn’t that hard

Maybe because it's all about the way the asymmetry runs. If our relationship with India was the same as what the Israeli relationship to Palestine is, we would behave the same (meaning if India was a small territory occupied by us as an open air prison, with no air force, armor, airport, etc., and we had a sophisticated military, nukes, an air force, submarines, etc., and the blanket/blind support of the US).

Iron dome to destroy the position ? that's New
