Trump proposes an “iron dome” over the United States, but analysts warn

He is the first non-incumbent Republican candidate in the modern era to win Iowa and the Granite State.

We’re going to have the biggest summit ever,” he said in Iowa a month ago, referring to the system which protects Israel, especially from Hamas rockets.

Analysts, however, believe that the defense system that protects the state of Tel Aviv is perfect for the small size of that country. As we read in an article in Il Giornale, “Israeli Iron Dome batteries intercept rockets launched no more than 43 miles away and each is capable of defending an area of ​​up to 60 square miles, approximately the territorial extent of Washington.” A.D”.
