Isn't it one Iron Dome unit that got hit? I'm assuming there are multiple sites.
The sites are spread out if you destroy one launcher it does make it much harder for them to intercept within that area. Destroy a few launchers and you very well could have a blind spot you could then funnel missiles through. They can move them around to try and cover the blind spot but they have a limited number of launchers so the more you take out the bigger the blind spot becomes. Then you can probe with dummies, or drones, and once you find it just shoot your missiles concentrated on that spot. It seems to be the Iranian strategy. I noticed they were specifically targetting the launchers with saturation attacks last night, and some missiles were getting through. Was just a matter of time before launchers got taken out. This is huge for Iran. If you can take out 1 launcher you can take out more. Eventually Israel is going to start having a lot of trouble intercepting, and they'll probably be forced to concede at that point. Without the Iron dome Hezbollah, and Hamas could flood their skies with low-tech rockets, and they wouldn't be able to intercept them. All Iran has to do is clear the way for them. It's why i think Iran has focused a lot of its attacks on the north of Israel because if they can knock out enough launchers in the north Hezbollah can start doing saturation strikes, and Hezbollah has thousands of low tech rockets stockpiled im pretty sure.
wouldn't flooding the skies with low tech rockets work... now?
The interceptors are crazy expensive compared to hatchet job rockets and vastly outnumbered by them too, they couldn't and can't stop them if they tried, why not launch hundreds of smaller rockets along with these bigger payloads?
thats what hamas does, first they use a swarm of cheap missiles and then use a good one to blow up the iron dome while its aiming at the cheap ones
