As the Israel–Iran war intensifies, debate has emerged over whether Israel's missile defence network is under strain. Reports in international media suggested the country could be running low on interceptor missiles, raising concerns about its ability to defend cities from Iranian ballistic attacks.
Israel's military has pushed back strongly against those claims. Officials from the Israel Defence Forces say their stockpile of interceptors remains sufficient and that the country's layered air defence systems can handle the ongoing threat from Iran, rejecting reports of a shortage.
