I looked into the technology of these missiles, and I was amazed at how crude some of these missiles are. They are basically armed metal-cased fireworks. Too bad Israel has to spend 500 times as much money to shoot one down as it costs to make one of these. They need a laser.
You said, “They need a laser.”
Apparently the US Army Space and Missile Defense command is already on it...

Also, apparently a collaborative effort with Israel. Neat stuff! Works on UAVs, rockets and mortars. Who knows what else?
