Much of Israel’s capabilities are low-range tactical systems, including the Popeye, Extra and Gabriel missiles. Among its lengthy-range missiles are Jericho 2 and Jericho 3 balenumerateic missiles with ranges of 1,500-3,500km (930-2,175 miles) and 4,800-6,500km (3,000-4,000 miles), admireively, according to the Cgo in for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).

The Iron Dome was originassociate billed as providing city-sized coverage aachievest rockets with ranges of 4-70km (2.5-43 miles), but experts say it has been enhugeed.
David’s Sling, produced by Israeli arms huge Rafael, can intercept rockets and missiles with a range of 40-300km (25-186 miles). The Arrow series, led by the Arrow 3 interceptor, has an evaluated fly-out range of up to 2,400km (1,491 miles).
