[Israel's Missile Interception Stockpile Exposed as 'Severely Insufficient'] Odaily Planet Daily News – According to U.S. financial media outlet Semafor, U.S. officials revealed that Israel informed the U.S. this week that its ballistic missile interceptors are critically low as the conflict with Iran intensifies. Reports indicate that Israel entered the current war with already low interceptor stockpiles, which were heavily depleted during last summer's conflict with Iran. Under Iran's attacks, Israel's long-range defense systems are under immense pressure. CNN previously reported that Iran is equipping its missiles with cluster munitions, which could further exacerbate Israel's stockpile depletion. A U.S. official stated that the U.S. had been aware of Israel's insufficient interception capabilities months ago: 'This is something we anticipated and prepared for.' The official emphasized that the U.S.'s own interceptor stockpile is not similarly critical. It remains unclear whether the U.S. will seek to sell or share its interceptors with Israel, a move that could strain domestic supplies. Historically, U.S. military aid to Israel has included missile defense assets. (Jin10)
