Israeli air system could last 10 to 12 days: Reports

A US official has said Israel may be running low on its supply of missile interceptors, according to a report published by The Wall Street Journal.

The reported shortage has sparked concerns about Israel's ability to defend itself against continued long-range ballistic missile attacks from Iran.

A separate report by The Washington Post on Tuesday, citing a source familiar with US and Israeli intelligence assessments, suggested that Israel could maintain its current air defence operations for only 10 to 12 more days unless the US steps in to replenish interceptor supplies or increases its involvement in the conflict. According to the source, Iran’s missile attacks have slowed somewhat since the initial escalation, but Israel's missile defense system remains under severe strain.
