Israel’s missile defense interceptors are reportedly running critically low as both the Washington Post and Wall Street Journal reported that Israel is rapidly depleting its interceptor stockpiles amid sustained Iranian missile attacks.
U.S. and Israeli intelligence estimate that at the current pace, Israel’s interceptor stockpiles may last only 10 to 12 more days, according to The Washington Post.
The Wall Street Journal confirms that Israel is running low on Arrow interceptors, its key long-range missile defense system, which is critical for stopping Iranian ballistic missiles.
Officials warn Israel may be forced to ration interceptors, meaning some incoming missiles could be left unchallenged.
Late on Tuesday, Iran launched more missiles towards Israel, including the hypersonic Fattah projectile, claiming the weapon broke through Israeli air defenses.
