"Iron Dome is not cheap.
A single missile battery costs $50 million and a single missile costs $60,000.

Ironically, the Iron Dome system was developed with help from the U.S.
In May 2010, the House of Representatives approved a plan to allocate $205 million for it. In July, President Obama announced $70 million in U.S. funding. "This is a program that has been critical in terms of providing security and safety for Israeli families," Obama said. "It is a program that has been tested and has prevented missile strikes inside of Israel.""

$275,000,000 from the US for Israel's Iron Dome.
$60,000 per missile.
Israel needs to be cut off and forced to pay for their own wars. Same for that corrupt, POS Pakistani government as well.
