Israel is facing a shortage of Arrow missile interceptors, raising concerns over its capacity to counter long-range ballistic attacks from Iran, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing a senior US official.

The Jerusalem Post has reached out to the IDF and other sources for comment, but cannot verify this report at this time.

According to the report, the US has been aware of the issue for several months and has taken steps to bolster Israel’s missile defense systems by deploying additional US assets across multiple domains – land, sea, and air.

Nobody has enough intercepting missiles for when an actual war breaks out. Some countries have enough to pretend they’re safe, others are worse off. What was Israel thinking when they started this war? (rhetorical)

That US and others will enable them, they're not wrong so far.

I’m not sure there is that much AA to give away these days. Countries need to have some of their own (to keep up the facade) and Ukraine got loads of existing stockpiles already so there’s not that much to go around anymore.
