An Israeli military official says the IDF has no interceptor shortage as of now, rejecting a report that Israel is running “critically low” on air defense missiles.
“We prepared for a prolonged conflict. We are monitoring the situation at all times,” the official says.
Late last night the US news site Semafor reported, citing US officials familiar with the matter, that Israel informed the US this week that it is running “critically low” on ballistic missile interceptors.
