Israel is facing a shortage of Arrow missile interceptors, raising concerns over its capacity to counter long-range ballistic attacks from Iran, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing a senior US official.

The Jerusalem Post has reached out to the IDF and other sources for comment, but cannot verify this report at this time.

According to the report, the US has been aware of the issue for several months and has taken steps to bolster Israel’s missile defense systems by deploying additional US assets across multiple domains – land, sea, and air.

Well yeah that's exactly the point of Iran's attacks

Iran is defending, Israel attacking.

The verbiage is a little funky in this case. This war is definitely one of Israeli aggression but Iran is indeed launching counterattacks on Israel. I don't necessarily think OP was trying to say otherwise, they possibly just used the term attack instead of strike.
