Both sides build lots of rockets. One side builds crappy rockets used to randomly attack civilians, the other side builds these:

Iron Dome is just plain impressive. The rockets are fairly small, though *far* from the smallest anti-missile guided interceptor (I was aware of but not involved in the abortive development of an interceptor system to be mounted on vehicles to protect them from RPGs and anti-tank missiles and the like… the missile wasn’t much bigger than a softball, with an intercept range of *yards*). They are cheap, as such things go, and apparently quite effective… Israel could make a ton of money by selling this system to allied nations. Bump up the capability some, make them better at intercepting missiles built by enemies more advanced than Hamas, then mount ’em on ships and boats. One wonders what the *smallest* boat is that could carry a complete system; small speedboats could spread out and form rings around aircraft carriers and the like.
