Washington Institute: "Israel" Vulnerable to Iranian Missiles

Local Editor

A US think tank said past experiences show that contrary to the claims of the US officials and "Israeli" officials, "Israel's" anti-missile system is not efficient enough to counter missile attacks by Iran.

In an article by Eddie Boxx titled 'Countering the Iranian Missile Threat in the Middle East', The Washington Institute wrote that "Iran's touted surface-to-surface missile advantage does indeed exist."
""Israel" is vulnerable to Iran's possible missile attack," Boxx stated.

In parallel, he noted that "Israel's" three batteries can only defend a relatively compact populated area against barrage of Shahab-3 missiles.
The military analyst further warned that "the involvement of Hizbullah in a prospective war, with its tens of thousands of short-, medium-, and long-range rockets, would, however, be a game changer."
Moreover, the study mentioned that "Iran's numerical advantage (the number of missiles and launchers) is clearly becoming a problem for the US and its allies in the region."

"Tehran could saturate rocket and missile defenses of the US and the Gulf littoral states with many of the hundreds of Shahab-1, -2, and -3 missiles and Fatah-110 and Zelzal rockets in its inventory," The Washington Institute said.
In parallel, the think tank highlighted that "in September, the Commander of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari said that "the US missile defenses in the region could only work for a few missiles, but when exposed to a massive volume of missiles ... [they] will not work."
