When Iran fires the masses of ballistic missiles, Israeli praised air defense is tested as never before.
Iran launched about 200 such missiles on Friday evening – according to the wave of Israeli strikes that day – and about 70 on Saturday evening, according to the defensive forces of Israel. Others came on Sunday and Monday.
Overall, Teheránský sent 370 ballistic missiles towards Israel, with approximately 30 targets in the country, says the Israeli government. They killed 24 people and injured nearly 600.
Cities like Rishhon Lesion and Bat Yam near Tel Aviv have suffered extensive damage to houses. Haifa, a port city in the north, was strongly focused, as well as the central Tel Aviv.
Iran also launched hundreds of drones that were easier to capture.
“We have some good defensive systems, but they are not a hermetically sealing sky,” said Ambassador in the US, YECHIEL Leiter on Sunday. “About 10% to 15% of these ballistic missiles pass.”
This is in line with the expected “degree of escape” of the Israeli army. The US, although not connected to Israel in striking Iranians, helps its ally to capture Tehran missiles, each wave costing millions of dollars to defend.
Since Friday, Iran’s attacks were much more dead and more harmful than when the Islamic Republic burned missiles and drones in Israel in April and October last year.
At that time, Iran focused mostly on military and intelligence goals. This time his shooting of a larger number of projectiles and another is heading towards civilian areas.
Before Lebanon, Israel faced barip missiles and drones from Iran, such as Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah. But neither has sophisticated ballistic projectiles fired by Iran, which travel much faster, carries heavier explosives, can maneuver in the air and spend a large part of their time in front of the Earth’s atmosphere, making them difficult.
“When you have a navigation system, it means that Israeli air systems cannot precisely anticipate what the missile route will be,” said journalists Gioora Eiland, pensioner General and the former head of the National Security Council on Monday. “That’s why we lack more than we really want.”
Houthis in Yemen fired ballistic missiles in Israel, but usually not more than one at a time.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Israelis to expect further attacks from Iran, and invited them to hurry to bombed shelters when the sound of sirens in the air air raid or get a telephone warning.
Preventing Iran from launching missiles is the highest priority for IDF. From Friday he tried to target the starting pages, and the officials said that about the third – or 120 – of them were discarded.
Netanyahu says that Israel is in the “existential campaign” to return the Iranian nuclear program for years, not if forever. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that Israel would “pay a very difficult price” for their strikes, which, according to the Iranian government, killed 224 people, including the best generals and atomic scientists.
Iran still has the remaining thousands of missiles that can reach Israel, and the National Security Advisor Tzachi Hanegbi said the Israeli Army Radio on Monday.
This is more than the number of 2,000 proposed comments from many Israeli officials in recent weeks. Yet even if the lower number is accurate, Iran can still run Salvos for several days, not if weeks.
One of the main advantages for Israel is that since October 2023 she has blossomed the firepower of Hezbollah and Hamas.
Around 2011, former Prime Minister Ehud Barak said that 500 people could be killed by retaliation in Israel if his government hit Iranian nuclear places. However, he included missiles from Hezbollah and Hamas.
Even 90% of the capture does not mean that life for Israelka continues as normal. Schools closed themselves at least this week and more than 100,000 people were imprisoned abroad after the country’s air space was closed on Friday.

There are also steep costs of wiretaps. Each of the Israel interceptor missiles, those that usually needed to shoot down the long -range projectiles cost around $ 2 million per $ 3 million. Often more than one towards the ballistic rocket is running to increase the chances of being hit.
In April last year, Bloomberg said it was probably Israel – like American, British, French and Jordanian air forces – to attack Iran around $ 1.1 billion. That was for several hours of work.
This conflict has lasted much longer. And there are few signs of release yet.
