1. An air force would take out the ati-rocket batteries.

2. The anti-rockets are more expensive than the rockets. The strategy would be to send in more cheap rockets until the anti-rockets are depleted then send the expensive rockets. My guess is that Hamas is already experimenting with the response by sending in a lotof rockets all at the same time.

3. Star Wars included satellites, not ground based batteries. Satellites with lasers are still too expensive and real cheap to take down by sending up junk into the satellite orbit.
