Drone tech will adapt, as it has been in the russia/ukraine conflict.

A small, fast, autonomous drone flying between trees and buildings, avoiding obstacles and not flying in a straight line could destroy such an expensive system with very little explosive.

Or a cloud of such drones.

Or launch your attack on a foggy/rainy day.

Its so fun to armchair general drones nowadays.

I think they're hoping this will be useful against long range cruise missile style drones, not hyper agile FPVs. Agile FPVs have not been a major threat from Iran vs Israel.

Does israel get a lot of fog and rain? Might this be part of a layered defense?

yeah no footage of the system in operation, no demo reel. seems like a feelgood measure. even if such footage existed and was real the things you mention would be cheap and easy.
