Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak and U.S. Ambassador Dan Shapiro visited the Iron Dome battery outside Tel Aviv on November 18.  They personally thanked Israeli soldiers manning the battery, which has intercepted multiple rockets since being deployed just two days ago.  Ambassador Dan Shapiro:  "If there's a more meaningful contribution of the United States to Israel's security than the Iron Dome system, I don't know what it is."
