If this works, it'll be a positive and negative game changer. Positive - Iron Dome rockets cost a lot every time it's used. This laser system does not. If it can do the same job at a fraction of the cost, it's a huge bost for Israel's budget. (Prediction - the Chareidi leadership will calculate the savings and demand it be diverted to them) Negative - this is something that came out before the war. The assumption by Jew haters that since Gaza's rockets don't actually cause harm because they're intercepted, Israel should not respond and attack Gaza in response.
