The system is far more advanced than we gave it credit for, and realised the best way to stop attacks into Tel Aviv was to eliminate the settlers?
Iron Dome 9000
How could Hamas do this to them!?
I'll go ahead and laugh because this is hellworld and that's all I can do.
I'm certainly laughing that's for sure lol
Same
Any chance it was hacked?
It's probably not as good as advertised. Israel needs to project an image of invincibility, because if the settlers start to feel unsafe they will go back to their home countries.
probably
Try ”definitely”
Supposedly there's been cases where it fired a dozen missiles in response to Gazans shooting guns into the air.
The entity claims it was hacked by Iran 🤷
it's way less embarrassing to say they were hacked than to admit incompetence.
No, it’s way worse, because that means admitting Iran can control their iron dome and shut it down when coordinating attacks. As opposed to random malfunctions
Depends on how they got hacked.
"We had an email from [email protected] offering a massive discount on bulk purchases of the colour swatches from that Family Guy meme and we thought those would be pretty useful for processing queues at checkpoints, so we opened the example.exe attachment."
The color swatches: 
getting hacked is incompetence but I take your point

Critical support for comrade Iron Dome for being incredibly shit at its job.
Could be aging or defective missiles.
How are they stored? How old are they? Is there corrective or preventative maintenence for these missiles? What is the failure rate over the lifetime of the munitions? How many have failed so far and are they in acceptable limits proposed by the manufacturer? Are we seeing a rate of failure higher than average? Is the launcher itself defective in some way as to damage the missile, impacting its ability to fly? Missile software issues? What type of seeker does it use, and can that be either jammed or is it defective?
Hacking a missile system sounds interesting and exciting and dramatic, but a system like this is probably not hooked up to any kind of network requiring internet access. Jamming is more likely, but doesn't make a whole lot of sense for individual missiles in a salvo to fail to jamming. It's my opinion that it's probably just old missiles failing as they age.
I believe we are seeing more failures simply because they are firing more missiles, and I believe we will continue to see these catastrophic* failures as the war goes on.
*catastrophic in the sense that any missile that flies back into the area it is launched from is the exact opposite outcome you'd expect from any missile system.
Oh no, not the most realistic possibility. How could you!!
Yea, hacking a system to only to redirect one missle slightly off target sounds wierd. A hacker would probably want to either completely disable the Iron Dome, cause all of the missles to detonate at point of origin to scuttle their ability to use them without rebuilding the entire infrastructure, or direct them to more relevant targets to undermine the IDF.
A community for everything related to Palestine and the occupation currently underway by the occupying force known as Israel.
Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. Existence is resistance for Palestinians.
Please refer to Israel as Occupied Palestine, or occupied territories. The IDF is a fascist and ethnonationalist occupying force. Israelis are settlers. We understand however that the imperial narrative (which tries to legitimise Israel) is internalised in the imperial core and slip-ups are naturally expected.
We always take the sides of Palestine and Palestinians and are unapologetic about it. Israel is an occupying power whose "defence force"'s (note the contradiction) sole purpose for existing is to push Palestinians out so they can resettle their rightful land. If you have anything positive to say about Israel we do not care.
