The Israeli military denies a shortage of air defense ammunition

According to news from Israel on the 15th, the Israel Defense Forces denied claims that their air defense interceptors are "severely insufficient" and that their stockpile is running out. An officer stated that the military had planned its operations against Iran months in advance. The IDF has prepared enough air defense interceptors and is ready for a "long-term war" with Iran lasting several weeks. The actual number of interceptors used in operations is "less than expected." Previous statistics from the Israeli side indicated that after the conflict erupted on February 28, Iran launched approximately 300 ballistic missiles at Israel over about two weeks, which is fewer than the 500 missiles fired at Israel during the "War of the 12th" in June 2025.
