Israel's missile defense system not invincible - The Guardian
In an article by Andrew Roth, an analyst of the British edition of The Guardian, it was mentioned that the recent missile attack by Tehran did not make Israel's defense system invincible. "The main fact is that Iran has proven that it can seriously strike Israel if it wants to," the report said.
An analysis of Tehran's recent missile attack shows that Israel's missile defense system is not impenetrable. Israel is more vulnerable than it seems, writes Andrew Roth, a correspondent of the British edition of The Guardian.
Satellite images and social media footage showed Iranian missiles hitting the Nevatim air base in the Negev desert one after the other, causing secondary explosions.
This suggests that despite the high effectiveness of Israel's Iron Dome and Arrow air defense systems, Iran's strikes were more successful than previously acknowledged.
The experts who analyzed the footage noted that at least 32 direct hits were made at the air base.
" If such strikes were directed at valuable targets such as oil refineries of the Bazan group, they could have a devastating effect and lead to an environmental disaster ," the report said.
"The main fact is that Iran has proven that it can seriously strike Israel if it wants to ," said Dekker Eveleth, an analyst at the CNA research group .
He added that air bases are difficult targets and do not cause many casualties. However, Iran could also choose other targets, such as bases where Israeli ground forces are concentrated or in residential areas, and such a missile attack could cause significant casualties.
Another problem for Israel is the economic consequences of the prolonged confrontation with Iran. Israel's air defenses are expensive and limited, which could leave the country vulnerable to Iranian strikes as the conflict continues.
"Given that Israel has already publicly confirmed its readiness to strike Iran, this missile exchange is an indication that it will not be the last," Evelet concludes.
He warned that such missile exchanges could be a long-term stability threat to Israel if the conflict with Iran continues .
