4/11/11, Israel Today:  During a weekend barrage of missile fire from Gaza, Israel downed all but one missile fired at the coastal City of Ashkelon.  The Israeli Army and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu called the performance a resounding success.  "The system's success has resounded throughout the world, including the European countries I visited," Netanyahu told his cabinet.  The United States Congress approved the transfer of 205 million to Israel to build and deploy another four Iron Dome batteries to southern Israel over the next 18 months.  Nevertheless, during the weekend attack, Hamas and their terrorist allies showed that they can overcome the Iron Dome simply by firing more missile than it can handle.  While the Iron Dome did stop eight missiles from hitting Ashkelon, it was helpless to stop the other 120 missiles fired at other communities across southern Israel.  Israeli leaders argued on Sunday that the deployment of the Iron Dome must be accompanied by a sustained offensive military campaign to destroy Hamas's ability to threaten southern Israel, or at the very least to create a strong deterrence.
