I found his reference to the 122mm rocket interesting - I believe that is the old BM21-Katyusha round.
I assume that the Israeli EPIK kit is analogous to the US M1156 with a unit cost of US$13,541

The principal drawback of Iron Dome is its cost. The Katyusha rockets favored by Hamas and Hezbollah typically cost about $300 a round, while the Iron Dome’s Tamir missiles cost anywhere from $20,000 to $100,000 each, depending on whose numbers are being quoted.
