Iron Dome rocket sites are popular with Tourists

by Rachael Alice Orbach

We all owe our lives in Israel to the Iron Dome Anti-Missile system!  Every time we hear a siren, we all run for cover, but we know that the missile from Gaza will most likely land in either an open area, which might be fields used from growing crops, or will be shot down.

Many people in all areas of Israel are concerned about going out to events, and outdoor cafes but the safest place to be is right next to one of the installations.  If you are there, and a rocket goes off, many people try to take pictures, "selfies" as it is called.

In fact there were so many people in some places that police had to ask some people to leave, which they did peacefully.

I'm not going to tell you where you can go yourself to see the system in action because of security reasons.
