Iron Dome is no good against high speed missiles. Let alone maneuvering ones. It was designed to protect against MLRS or artillery shells. But then again people just call whichever Israeli IADS "Iron Dome" by default for whatever reason.
You would need either David's Sling or Arrow against these missiles and even then it is a gamble.

Significant strikes. Also reports that Iran blew up Israel's oil rigs out at sea.

First time seeing a proximity fuse at work. The interceptor exploded but the missile continued and exploded in full force when it hit the ground. This tells you that the media assumes Iron Dome or whatever is working but instead the proximity fuse is just going off whether or not the missile has been intercepted.
Watching CNN and already they said no casualties being reported so Israeli interceptors must've worked. It's been less than an hour.

The interceptors ignore missiles that won't hit anything of value. Seeing ground impacts doesn't mean the attack was successful.

They explode after they miss so it doesn't land on the ground exploding.
Hard to argue nothing of value has been hit with the size of the barrage, though
Hilarious when social media was circle jerking themselves and gloating how strong they were back in April while ignoring the fact it was coordinated between both sides. Now they are finding out how they aren’t as invincible as they once believed.

According to Israel, no casualties so far. Military infrastructure damage without civilian casualties would be the best cast scenario.
It'd be highly ironic if Iran did manage to damage military installations without collateral damage in a BM barrage than what Israel causes with PGMs flying right above the claimed target.
