PNN – The Israeli news outlet Vala reported that the Israeli regime’s stockpile of interceptor missiles is not sufficient to counter Iranian missiles in the event of a major conflict between Tehran and Washington.
The Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper warned of the paralysis of Tel Aviv and the reduction of its defense capabilities in the event of such a conflict.
The base added: Israel has used a significant portion of its interception systems in attacks on Gaza and Hezbollah, in addition to attacks on Yemen and Iran, and this issue would create a “huge gap” in the event of a direct conflict with Tehran.
The base explained that some Israeli aircraft refused to launch interceptor missiles due to limited supplies, and the Ministry of War has requested increased equipment to compensate for the shortage.
Vala stressed that the United States faces a similar situation with interceptor missiles, as its Patriot missile stockpile dwindles after sending shipments to support Ukraine. This leaves the US administration with a dilemma: whether to keep the missiles for Ukraine and “Israel,” or to keep them for any potential confrontation.
The Vala website, noting that increased production would lead to lower prices, spoke about the limited access to American offensive munitions, meaning that the United States cannot launch a similar attack these days without new shipments.
