Wall Street Journal: Israel’s Arrow interceptors almost completely depleted 

Following the Iranian missile barrages over the last 5 days, it turns out that Israel's stockpile of Arrow interceptors is almost completely depleted, accordint to the Wall Street Journal this morning (Wednesday).

The shortage raises concerns in Israel regarding its ability to intercept ballistic missiles launched from Iran if the conflict does not end soon. According to the report, the United States is aware of Israel's defensive capability issues and is trying to resolve them.

With the start of the war against Iran, the Pentagon launched defense systems to the Middle East to upgrade Israel's interception capabilities. An American official told the Wall Street Journal that the U.S. is aware of the issue and is working to improve the defense system on land, at sea, and in the air.

According to him, the Pentagon has sent assistance to the region, but there is now concern that the U.S. is using its inventory intended for specific needs. The IDF stated that it is prepared to handle any scenario, but can’t respond at this time on issues related to armament.

Israel officials categorically deny the WSJ report: "This is not true and does not come close to reality". According to the American newspaper's report, the stock of Israel's "Arrow" missiles raises concerns about the country's ability to deal with long-range ballistic missiles from Iran if the war continues. "Neither the U.S. nor the Israelis can keep sitting and intercepting missiles all day," said Tom Karako, director of the Missile Defense Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "The Israelis and their allies need to act quickly to do what needs to be done because we cannot afford to sit and play shooting games."
