Israel will begin setting up its Iron Dome missile defense system in the south of the country after an upsurge in attacks from the Gaza Strip.

“I don’t want to create an illusion that Iron Dome, which we’re deploying today, will give a complete or comprehensive answer” to rockets from Gaza, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at a Cabinet meeting, according to an e-mail from his office. “The real answer to the missile threat is a mix of offensive measures, deterrence and defensive measures.”
