Moti Shefer, an Israeli space engineering expert, claimed that the Iron Dome is a major deception, stating it failed to intercept any Iranian missiles during Operation True Promise despite launching 500 missiles. He accused the Israeli military of either lying or being ignorant. Shefer also noted significant damage from Hezbollah’s missile attacks that Israeli officials couldn’t contain. The IRGC launched a missile and drone attack on Israeli military targets on April 14, retaliating for an earlier Israeli airstrike. Despite massive US and Israeli preparations, the IRGC used only 20% of its firepower and chose not to launch further strikes.
