Israeli Defense Ministry Owes $4 Billion Due to Iran Conflict

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, an admission from the Hebrew-language website Walla has revealed that the Israeli Ministry of Defense’s debts to defense industry companies have reached $4 billion. This figure is primarily a consequence of the large volume of interceptor missiles utilized by the occupying army during its conflict with Iran.

Military affairs expert Shai Galker emphasized that the missile reserves of the Arrow 3 system influenced decisions regarding the interception of Iranian missile attacks, particularly the country’s barrage missiles. He noted that some missiles from the Arrow system were held back for potential use in more severe offensives.

Galker further stated that the Israeli army attempted to rely more heavily on the David’s Sling system for intercepting Iran’s ballistic missiles. However, he acknowledged that this system was not always capable of countering Iranian missiles equipped with barrage warheads.
