This is really impressive. Without this system in place thousands of people would be in serious trouble. A few rockets still manage to get through and usually land in unpopulated areas, but I think that may be by design. Malfunctions do happen, like yesterday when rockets managed to overwhelm the system and kill two women and injure many more.
