Well the iron Dome was suppose to be the best thing since slice bread.
What type of Missile got through? How many of the said type were shot down?
Keep in mind this was a telegraphed attack. Allies of Israel were notified and were able to get rid of most of the confusion.
I think Israel now realize that to defeat Iran and survive it would have to go nuclear.

So conjecture and supposition... Danke.
Such as, "I think Israel now realize that to defeat Iran and survive it would have to go nuclear."
Sounds like you've got the stick wrong way round. The lunatic mullahs thought 300+ missiles would surely overwhelm Israeli defenses only to discover that maybe 1% reached their assigned targets, if that.
If anything, the Israeli generals are toasting their successes while the mullahs decamp Teheran with their retinue of 72 year old virgins.

How many ballistic warheads got through? Not the ballistic bodies, the heads.

BTW not much difference between the Mullahs and the Israeli right extremists. Both sides are steeped in religious mumbo jumbo.
These are serious times. BIbi is trying to force Biden to support him into a major retaliation against Iran and Biden is telling him to cool it...this is an election year; no American wants to countenance oil at $150.
The possibility exists that Biden might turn his back on a intransigent Bibi. That would be extraordinary.

They are ballistics and ballistics. Some are more sophisticated. Some have warheads which at some point during flight separate from the body and proceed using their own propulsion.
Basically no ballistic should get through to its target.
So how many ballistic warheads got through in a telegraphed attack?

I saw one claim that a small number of hypersonics were used, and were effective. Supposedly destroyed Israeli intelligence facility on the Golan Heights. Saw video, but cannot judge it's authenticity. No confirmation that I've seen, just the one report.

Dunno, but very few, if any. OTOH, Israel just demonstrated that it can safely attack inside Iran at will.
