Al Jazeera: Iran’s Missile Capability Poses Serious Threat to Israel

DID Press: Al Jazeera has published an analysis of the 12-day war between Iran and Israel, focusing on the role of Iran’s ballistic missiles and warning that Tehran’s missile capabilities pose a serious threat to Israel.

According to the report, many analysts view a direct confrontation between Iran and Israel as having been inevitable. During the conflict, Iran reportedly used an unexpected combination of ballistic missiles. Israeli sources cited by Al Jazeera said more than 500 projectiles were launched, although Iran has not released official figures.

The report also highlights a depletion of Israel’s interceptor stockpiles, noting that this has increased Tel Aviv’s reliance on US air defense systems.

Experts warned that in any future conflict, if the United States is unable to maintain a defensive umbrella over Israeli-held territories, the damage inflicted on Israel could be severe and potentially devastating.
