Israeli media reported that a military driver took photos of "Israel's" state-of-the-art anti-air system Iron Dome batteries and sent them to an Iranian-run account on Facebook.

According to the Israeli channel KAN, a truck driver in the Israeli army took dozens of photos of Iron Dome batteries while on duty and sent the footage to an account he believed belonged to a woman he was in love with.

The channel indicated that the truck driver "voluntarily" documented the Iron Dome batteries with their locations and sent them to someone he thought he was in love with, only to later discover that the account was fake and that the information was handed over to an Iranian side.

The Iron Dome is an anti-air system designed to intercept and destroy short-range rockets and artillery shells fired from distances of 4 to 70 kilometers away.

Iron Dome's radar detects incoming threats shortly after they are launched and tracks their trajectory before deciding whether to intercept them or not.

"Israel" claims a high success rate for the Iron Dome system, often cited to be around 90%. However, these figures and the system's effectiveness have been challenged, since the Iron Dome has failed to intercept missiles, rockets, and drones launched by various Axis of Resistance groups despite the cost of intercepting these projectiles reaching tens of thousands of dollars.

During Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, the Iron Dome system failed to intercept thousands of projectiles launched on various fronts, including by the Palestinian Resistance from the heart of Gaza and by Hezbollah on the northern border of occupied Palestine, questioning the system's interception capabilities.

Most recently, the Iranian news channel Press TV reported that none of the hypersonic missiles fired by Iran as part of its retaliatory attack against "Israel" were intercepted by the Iron Dome.
