Israel faces a severe shortage of interceptor missiles, while strengthening its air defense systems to defend against attacks by Iran and its proxies, according to the London-based Financial Times, citing senior military industry officials, former officers and experts. "Israel's munitions problem is serious," Dana Stroll, a former senior official at the U.S. Department of Defense, who is responsible for the Middle East, explained to the newspaper. "If Iran responds to the Israeli attack, and Hezbollah also joins in, Israel's air defenses will be stretched," she said, adding that the supplies of interceptors are not infinite. "The U.S. cannot continue to supply Ukraine and Israel at the same rate."
