Speaking to Reuters on condition of anonymity, the Zionist official said that "as a result of the Gaza crisis, three new Iron Dome units were now in the pipeline".

According to the Zionist Defense Ministry, the occupation had seven Iron Domes set up to shoot down missiles when cross-border fighting with resistance fighters surged on July 8, and has since brought two more into service.

The Zionist official did not expand on where the money for the new rocket interceptors came from. But Yair Ramati, head of the Defense Ministry's missile defense agency, told reporters at the weekend that all but one of the Iron Dome batteries in the field were paid for with U.S. grants.

The Zionist entity accepted the terms of an Egyptian-proposed truce on Tuesday to end its air strikes and naval barrages on Gaza that Palestinian officials say have killed at least 184 people, mostly civilians, since Tuesday last week.
