(Ynet News) Ron Ben-Yishai - According to foreign reports, Israel's Iron Dome anti-missile system finds it difficult to intercept heavy, medium-range rockets like the M-302 that were captured on the Klos C ship. Such rockets are supposed to be intercepted by a system called David's Sling, which is still being developed and will not become operational before 2016.

The shipment was at the initiative of Iran's Revolutionary Guards' Quds Force and involved a very complicated logistic operation which cost tens of millions of dollars.
