How effective was the American supplied "Missile Defense System" against Hezbollah rockets?

Was Israel in possession of our missile defense system? A compilation of SAM's and Gatling's? I wasn't aware.

The smaller missiles go under theradar of the AA guns. The larger missiles that were launched were all shot down by the Patriot missiles.

Answer 8

Accurate except for the one that hit the UN workers.

Answer 9

it was not effective at all.
