一 | JERUSALEM -- Since Israel activated the Iron Dome in 2011, the cutting-edge rocket-defense system has intercepted thousands of rockets fired from the Gaza Strip.The system has given residents a sense of security, and Israelis can often be seen watching the projectiles flying through the skies and destroying their targets overhead.But the current war with Hamas might be its stiffest challenge yet.In just two weeks, Hamas has fired 7,000 rockets toward Israel, according to the Israeli military. That is more than any of the previous four wars fought between Israel and Hamas since the militant group seized power in Gaza in 2007. On Oct. 7 alone, the first day of fighting, Hamas launched at least 2,000 rockets, according to data from West Point. Lebanon's Hezbollah has also fired hundreds of rockets along Israel's northern front since the fighting began.Most of the rockets have been intercepted. But some have managed to get through, killing at least 11 people and hitting buildings as far away as Tel Aviv, according to Israeli officials.Here is a look at the accomplishments — and limitations — of the Iron Dome.The Iron Dome is a series of batteries that use radars to detect incoming short-range rockets and intercept them.Each battery has three or four launchers, 20 missiles, and a radar, according to Raytheon, the U.S. defense giant that co-produces the system with Israel's Rafael Defense Systems.Once the radar detects a rocket, the system determines whether the rocket is headed toward a populated area. If so, it launches a missile to intercept and destroy the rocket. If the system determines the rocket is headed to an open area or into the sea, it is allowed to land, thus conserving missiles. According to the military, all interceptions occur in Israeli airspace.The military declined to comment on how many Iron Dome batteries are currently deployed. But as of 2021, Israel had 10 batteries scattered around the country, each able to defend a territory of 60 square miles (155 square kilometers), according to Raytheon. It is roughly 90% effective, according to Rafael.But it can get overwhelmed if a mass barrage of rockets is fired, allowing some to slip through. While it has performed well so far, the risk could be raised if Hezbollah enters the war. Hezbollah has an estimated 150,000 rockets and missiles.Each missile costs an estimated $40,000 to $50,000, according to the Institute for National Security Studies, a Tel Aviv think tank.The U.S. has invested heavily in the system, helping with development costs and replenishing it during times of fighting.President Joe Biden has said he will ask Congress for $14.3 billion in military aid for Israel. The majority of that would help with air and missile defense systems, according to the White House.“We’re surging additional military assistance, including ammunition and interceptors to replenish Iron Dome,” Biden said.___Find more of AP’s coverage at https://apnews.com/hub/israel-hamas-war。 8 月 26 日消息，华硕现已在京东上架灵耀 14 骁龙版笔记本，该机搭载骁龙 X 处理器，匹配 16GB RAM 和 512GB SSD，定价为 7999 元，部分地区国补后低至 6999 元。京东华硕灵耀 14 骁龙版 7999 元直达链接该机整体厚度 13.9mm，重量 1.1Kg，B 面配备一块 14 英寸 2880x1800 分辨率 120Hz OLED 面板（亮度 1100 尼特，覆盖 100% DCI-P3 色域），C 面配备 1.7mm 长键程键盘。该机搭载 8 核心 8 线程高通骁龙 X（X1-26-100）处理器，匹配 16GB LPDDR5X RAM 和 512GB PCIe 4.0 SSD，内置 50Whrs 电池，I/O 方面提供 USB-A 3.2 Gen 1、双 USB-C 3.2 Gen 2、HDMI 2.1、3.5mm 音频接口。广告声明：文内含有的对外跳转链接（包括不限于超链接、二维码、口令等形式），用于传递更多信息，节省甄选时间，结果仅供参考，包含外链的文章均包含本声明。
