A few points:

1. We're striking from the rear. Most of the Iron Dome is focused on the front and sides, so we will be facing less resistance.

2. We just missile barraged them. Some of those missiles were directed at the Horizons, so a few ships were probably taken out.

3. There are so many aircraft, the Iron Dome was likely overwhelmed with contacts.

4. These are smaller planes. The Iron Dome is mainly focused on aerospace vessels and large craft.

Of course, we still took casualties. I'd say about 50-200 planes were shot down from missiles, and probably an additional 200-300 from AA and fighters.
