Iran launched over 300 drones and missiles in response to suspected Israeli airstrike on its embassy in Damascus

But Israel intercepted 99% of them with the help of its Iron Dome, David's Sling and Arrow-2 and Arrow-3 systems

Iron Dome is designed to intercept short-range rockets at a distance of up to 70 kilometres

It was developed by state-owned Rafael Advanced Defense Systems with the help of the US and first went into operation in 2011

It quickly determines whether a rocket is on course to hit a populated area. If not, the rocket is ignored and allowed to land harmlessly

Arrow-2 and Arrow-3 system is designed to intercept ballistic missiles outside the earth's atmosphere, using a detachable warhead that collides with the target

It operates at an altitude that allows for the safe dispersal of any non-conventional warheads

Israel's David's Sling system is designed to shoot down ballistic missiles fired from 100 km to 200 km away

David's Sling is also designed to intercept aircraft, drones and cruise missiles
