WHAT DOES IRON DOME DO?: The air defence system consists of two parts named David’s Sling and Arrow. While David’s Sling's 'Stunner' missiles are designed to intercept ballistic missiles at low altitude, the Arrow system is armed with motor-divert capability and a kill vehicle that can switch directions. Hence Iron Dome is capable of dealing with both medium- and long-range threats, including missiles, rockets, drones and even planes. (Photo |AP)
