Israel’s multi-layered defence successfully blocks Iranian missile attacks

Israel is facing ballistic missile attacks from Iran, with smaller volleys than in previous conflicts. Israel’s tiered air defence systems, including Iron Dome, David Sling, Arrow 2 and 3, Patriot, and THAAD, have been able to intercept the incoming fire.

No major damage or casualties have been reported so far. However, Israel is also monitoring threats from Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, and Iranian-backed Shia militias in Iraq and Syria.
