Core Insights - The ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel has led to significant depletion of Israel's missile defense systems, with estimates suggesting they could be exhausted in 10 to 12 days if Iran maintains its current attack intensity [1][5] - Iran's missile stockpile is also under pressure, with approximately 2,000 missiles initially available, of which around 400 have been launched, resulting in a loss of one-third of their arsenal [3][4] Group 1: Israel's Defense Situation - Israel's missile defense system is reportedly overwhelmed, leading to a "missile rationing" strategy where they must selectively intercept incoming threats [1][5] - The cost of Israel's missile defense operations is substantial, with nightly expenses reaching 1 billion shekels (approximately 285 million USD) [4] - The reliance on expensive missile systems, such as the Arrow system costing 3 million USD per missile, poses sustainability challenges for Israel's defense strategy [6] Group 2: Iran's Offensive Strategy - Iran appears to be employing a strategy of small-scale, continuous attacks to deplete Israel's defense capabilities, potentially using older and less advanced missiles [4] - The intensity of Iran's missile launches has decreased significantly, with a drop from over 150 missiles in one night to just 10 in a subsequent attack [3] - Analysts suggest that Iran's remaining missile capabilities are still significant, with more than half of their arsenal reportedly intact and possibly hidden in underground facilities [3]
