They are not trying to take down every dumb rocket fired at them. The radar identifies which one's are going to fall over populated areas. Basically, the threat is identified and dealt with accordingly.The missiles are not cheap.From what I know it's a 90% hit ratio.From the drawing board stage it was decided that it has to exceed the American Patriot system.150 out of 500 is hardly good considering these missiles are not even missiles, they are unguided rockets!
Iron does not shoot down all incoming missiles. It discriminates and shoots down missiles that will "probably" hit critical areas. Obviously, it will ignore a lot of Hamas' unguided rockets since most of it hopelessly miss their targets.

I was watching some clips. We can notice that that the Hama's have changed their tactics. They are launching multiple rockets simultaneously to overwhelm the Iron dome system. So far it seems it has held up. Enjoy the fireworks.
Hey... The Iron Dome in the picture is facing the Palestine side or Israel.
