Israel is running critically low on interceptors, US officials say

Interesting that Iran has started using cluster munition missiles to strike Israel. Apparently Iran, Israel and US are some of the few countries that haven't signed the international convention banning cluster munitions. Israel has also used cluster munitions against the Hezbollahs.

Then it was a very strange choice to go to war with a neighbor that's known to have massive stockpiles of missiles. Maybe it's just me, but if I were in such a suboptimal defensive materiel position, I would try diplomacy first. In fact, I would make it my mission to be the world recognized leader in diplomacy.

Good. Perhaps they will pay the ultimate price and face irreversible consequences that are decades overdue.

Keep in mind who pays for the replacements - U.S. Citizens to the tune of $317.9 billion over the last 70 years [1]. https://taxpayersforpeace.org/

I hope they have their Cuito Cuanavale[1] moment and follow the steps of South Africa in replacing their own version of the apartheid regime with democracy. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Cuito_Cuanavale

On the other side, iran's launch capability had fallen by 92% since the start of the war https://www.jpost.com/defense-and-tech/article-889435 Iran is actually attacking their former close friends at the gulf uninvolved civilian population centers more often than it attacks Israel EDIT: fixed to 92%
