As the IDF looks into the failure to intercept the Iranian missiles that struck the southern cities of Dimona and Arad on Saturday night, causing injuries and massive damage, Fabian discusses the air force’s interception rate, which is around 90% for missiles heading to populated areas.
Fabian reports on the ongoing efforts of the IAF to track down and take out Iran’s air defense systems, nuclear-related sites and ballistic missile launchers, which are scattered throughout the country, as weather conditions complicate the operation.
With four IDF divisions operating in south Lebanon, Fabian reviews the number of troops and their work to demolish Hezbollah sites, while the Iranian proxy terror group continues striking northern Israel.
