I thought Israel missile defense shot everything down?

Sheer number of missiles also can overwhelm anti-missile missiles. The only way to defend against something like this is with energy weapons that don't have physical ammo to run out of.

Is there any video of the usual volley from the Iron Dome? Israel could have just let them hit considering they knew the exact time it was coming yesterday
