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.

Iran is defending, Israel attacking.

Well yes I agree, still the reason for them sending missiles is to disable Israel's defense so that they're not so comfortable bullying Iran
