Report: US seeking to boost Israeli air defenses as interceptors run low
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDespite IDF denials, The Wall Street Journal once again reports that the country is running low on missile interceptors for its air defense systems.
The paper says the US is making efforts to boost Israeli defenses: by resupplying a THAAD air defense system it deployed in Israel last year, and by sending a fourth destroyer to the region decked with ballistic missile interceptor systems.
The report says Israel could run out of interceptors if the conflict continues for several more weeks, though the IDF is continuing to degrade Iran’s ability to launch missiles by destroying caches and launchers.
