The Iron Dome missile defense system has already intercepted several hundred missiles that would have otherwise landed in civilian populated areas, and potentially killed hundreds to thousands of innocent Jewish and Arab Israeli citizens.
But I suppose it would make certain posters feel better about the situation if the IDF would just sit back and let their citizens die needlessly to even the body count.

Wow, there is some hate in this thread! Hamas has been known to use children as human shields. And War is War. It is very sad but that's the way things are. You have constant rockets flying over into Israel, but no one cares about them right?

People only look at the poor Palestinian goy and feel sorry for them. You people forget that the weapons we are using to defend ourselves are from the US. The US needs to support Israel wholeheartedly through supplies and support from the American people.

This anti-semitism needs to stop. Even though the anti-semites are in low number they are slowly rising in the US by propaganda perpetuated by Neo Nazis I.E. Websites like Storm Front. Lets not let these "Stormfronters" spew their anti semite rhetoric over the internet, including this website.

The Iron Dome system has not had to intercept many rockets (i believe they got 6 one day and thats an average - if not high - number). The rockets don't have much of a range (i think around 12 miles - 20 some km) and they only carry around 30 lbs of explosives - so no you aren't looking at thousands or even hundreds of deaths if one did hit a populated area. Also i takes them at minimum 15 seconds to reach their target and Israel always has sirens and there are public bomb shelters, that can easily take a direct hit, everywhere. A tiny amount of the rockets make it anywhere near populated areas, probably 1 or 2 percent.
Honestly your information is way off. These things are bottle rockets compared to what Israel is using. So if by chance the sirens didn't give the people the ample time they have to duck in the shelter (none really sneak through since they are always watched) and then the iron dome missed and the rocket actually hit a populated area the damage and casualites would still be very small nowhere even remotely near 100 let alone 1000. A 30 lb explosive isn't going to kill a thousand that's laughable. Carbombs are much bigger and they generally kill a half a dozen or less. So rather than a thousand try a number like 3 - 6 IF one hit a group of people bunched together - directly.

Nope, they aren't estimations. Those numbers are from sources. The rockets generally carry about 25 to 30 lbs of explosives. They have 15 second warnings.
And so forth. Those aren't estimations at all. I read all of that information from news sources such as CNN.
You however just made up your info.
There is a reason out of years and years and thousands of rockets there has never been a casualty event like you describe. Because one isn't possible. If one of their rockets hit a crowded street there wouldnt be any thing like a hundred dead.
They aren't being scrutinized I was just explaining why your information was wrong and a large casualty incident wouldn't be possible. If Hamas rockets were capable of what you incorrectly claim then their shelters wouldn't help. These rockets are the military equivalent of a bottle rocket or sparkler. They aren't meant to inflict massive damage or casualties. Hamas isn't stupid and just trying the same trick, there is another purpose. If they were trying to kill people they would have moved on to another tactic by now.
Fierce fighting between Israel and Hamas resumed Thursday, including an airstrike that killed three Palestinian children feeding pigeons on their roof, after a temporary cease-fire that allowed Gazans to stock up on supplies.
