Isn't the Iron Dome programmed to just ignore incoming ordnance that isn't going to hit anything important? That is my recollection. In other words, I think it is DESIGNED to not bother with much of what is incoming.

Yes--if nothing is in the way, ID doesn't fire. It also doesn't do much to combat ballistic missiles anyway, and was never intended to. ID is designed for low altitude garage-made projectiles at close range.
The Arrow (Patriot-derivative) and David's Sling systems are Israel's long-range/high altitude interceptor platforms.
