Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Iron Dome, the U.S.-funded Israeli missile defense system, performed “remarkably well” in defending Israel against Hamas rockets.
Panetta said yesterday the system intercepted about 400 rockets fired at Israel, or about 85 percent of those targeted by its radar and battle-management system as heading toward populated areas.
