一 |     98.3FM Mirchi, Mumbai’s No. 1 radio station, for over 23 years, has been the heartbeat of the city, capturing the pulse of Mumbaikars and delivering their daily dose of music, entertainment, and local flavour. After years of operating from its iconic South Mumbai studio at Matulya Centre, Mirchi has now moved to Kalina with its modern, state-of-the-art studio.          The highlight of the celebration was the official inauguration led by the Honourable Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Shri Devendra Fadnavis. In true Mirchi style, the CM inaugurated the studio by cutting a one-of-a-kind red-chilli ribbon, perfectly capturing Mirchi’s spicy, bold spirit.The Chief Minister joined Mirchi RJs Jeeturaaj and Bhushan for a freewheeling and engaging chat where he spoke about his vision for Maharashtra, pollution issues, upcoming Kumbh Mela, his love for poetry amongst other things. The CM also added a delightful touch of humour and wisdom to the occasion, remarking that whether it’s food or life, having a little Mirchi is essential. His comment not only drew laughter all around but beautifully echoed what the brand stands for: energy, flavour, excitement and a spark that makes everyday moments more enjoyable.To commemorate the special occasion, Shri Devendra Fadnavis left a witty message on the Mirchi studio pillar: “Mirchi is hot, I am cool.” With that one line, he perfectly captured the spirited, light-hearted energy of the inauguration, blending Mirchi’s signature spice with his own effortless charm.          To wrap up evening the Honourable Chief Minister took a selfie with all the Mirchi employees and jokingly added whether he passed or failed to become the next Radio Mirchi RJ.With this new studio, Mirchi continues to elevate its legacy while opening the doors to an exciting new chapter in Mumbai’s entertainment landscape.Also Read: Shah Rukh Khan Pens Emotional Message As Andre Russell Retires From IPL。    JERUSALEM -- Since Israel activated the Iron Dome in 2011, the cutting-edge rocket-defense system has intercepted thousands of rockets fired from the Gaza Strip.The system has given residents a sense of security, and Israelis can often be seen watching the projectiles flying through the skies and destroying their targets overhead.But the current war with Hamas might be its stiffest challenge yet.In just two weeks, Hamas has fired 7,000 rockets toward Israel, according to the Israeli military. That is more than any of the previous four wars fought between Israel and Hamas since the militant group seized power in Gaza in 2007. On Oct. 7 alone, the first day of fighting, Hamas launched at least 2,000 rockets, according to data from West Point. Lebanon's Hezbollah has also fired hundreds of rockets along Israel's northern front since the fighting began.Most of the rockets have been intercepted. But some have managed to get through, killing at least 11 people and hitting buildings as far away as Tel Aviv, according to Israeli officials.Here is a look at the accomplishments — and limitations — of the Iron Dome.The Iron Dome is a series of batteries that use radars to detect incoming short-range rockets and intercept them.Each battery has three or four launchers, 20 missiles, and a radar, according to Raytheon, the U.S. defense giant that co-produces the system with Israel's Rafael Defense Systems.Once the radar detects a rocket, the system determines whether the rocket is headed toward a populated area. If so, it launches a missile to intercept and destroy the rocket. If the system determines the rocket is headed to an open area or into the sea, it is allowed to land, thus conserving missiles. According to the military, all interceptions occur in Israeli airspace.The military declined to comment on how many Iron Dome batteries are currently deployed. But as of 2021, Israel had 10 batteries scattered around the country, each able to defend a territory of 60 square miles (155 square kilometers), according to Raytheon. It is roughly 90% effective, according to Rafael.But it can get overwhelmed if a mass barrage of rockets is fired, allowing some to slip through. While it has performed well so far, the risk could be raised if Hezbollah enters the war. Hezbollah has an estimated 150,000 rockets and missiles.Each missile costs an estimated $40,000 to $50,000, according to the Institute for National Security Studies, a Tel Aviv think tank.The U.S. has invested heavily in the system, helping with development costs and replenishing it during times of fighting.President Joe Biden has said he will ask Congress for $14.3 billion in military aid for Israel. The majority of that would help with air and missile defense systems, according to the White House.“We’re surging additional military assistance, including ammunition and interceptors to replenish Iron Dome,” Biden said.___Find more of AP’s coverage at https://apnews.com/hub/israel-hamas-war。
