A | JERUSALEM -- Since Israel activated the Iron Dome in 2011, the cutting-edge rocket-defense system has intercepted thousands of rockets fired from the Gaza Strip.The system has given residents a sense of security, and Israelis can often be seen watching the projectiles flying through the skies and destroying their targets overhead.But the current war with Hamas might be its stiffest challenge yet.In just two weeks, Hamas has fired 7,000 rockets toward Israel, according to the Israeli military. That is more than any of the previous four wars fought between Israel and Hamas since the militant group seized power in Gaza in 2007. On Oct. 7 alone, the first day of fighting, Hamas launched at least 2,000 rockets, according to data from West Point. Lebanon's Hezbollah has also fired hundreds of rockets along Israel's northern front since the fighting began.Most of the rockets have been intercepted. But some have managed to get through, killing at least 11 people and hitting buildings as far away as Tel Aviv, according to Israeli officials.Here is a look at the accomplishments — and limitations — of the Iron Dome.The Iron Dome is a series of batteries that use radars to detect incoming short-range rockets and intercept them.Each battery has three or four launchers, 20 missiles, and a radar, according to Raytheon, the U.S. defense giant that co-produces the system with Israel's Rafael Defense Systems.Once the radar detects a rocket, the system determines whether the rocket is headed toward a populated area. If so, it launches a missile to intercept and destroy the rocket. If the system determines the rocket is headed to an open area or into the sea, it is allowed to land, thus conserving missiles. According to the military, all interceptions occur in Israeli airspace.The military declined to comment on how many Iron Dome batteries are currently deployed. But as of 2021, Israel had 10 batteries scattered around the country, each able to defend a territory of 60 square miles (155 square kilometers), according to Raytheon. It is roughly 90% effective, according to Rafael.But it can get overwhelmed if a mass barrage of rockets is fired, allowing some to slip through. While it has performed well so far, the risk could be raised if Hezbollah enters the war. Hezbollah has an estimated 150,000 rockets and missiles.Each missile costs an estimated $40,000 to $50,000, according to the Institute for National Security Studies, a Tel Aviv think tank.The U.S. has invested heavily in the system, helping with development costs and replenishing it during times of fighting.President Joe Biden has said he will ask Congress for $14.3 billion in military aid for Israel. The majority of that would help with air and missile defense systems, according to the White House.“We’re surging additional military assistance, including ammunition and interceptors to replenish Iron Dome,” Biden said.___Find more of AP’s coverage at https://apnews.com/hub/israel-hamas-war。 广电计量回应集成电路板块收入增速放缓：主要受公司市场订单与产能匹配不均衡影响 人民财讯8月25日电，就“公司集成电路业务板块增速放缓，主要因素是什么”的提问，广电计量(002967)8月24日在业绩说明会上表示，2026年上半年，公司集成电路测试与分析板块订单增速高于收入增速，为后续业务持续增长提供订单支撑。
B | 板块收入呈现阶段性增速放缓特征，分季度来看，一季度收入同比约增长2%，二季度增速已恢复至16.7%，呈现逐步回升态势。
C | 该板块收入阶段性增速有所放缓，主要受公司市场订单与产能匹配不均衡影响，部分专业产能饱和，新建实验室产能释放需要一定时间。公司现已建成上海、广州、无锡、东莞集成电路测试实验室；当前重点推进深圳、长沙、杭州实验室建设工作，其中深圳实验室已正式投产，半年度已形成产值贡献。公司将持续扩充业务产能，并维持相应研发投入，做好创新技术积累。后续公司将通过资本支出与设备租赁相结合的方式，保障订单产能消化，有信心保持全年的收入稳定增长。 。
