Gerer Rebbe’s Son Visits Arad Community And Injured Chasidim After Iran Missile Hit
Upgraded David's Sling intercepted Iranian ballistic missiles targeting southern cities, achieving 92% success rate amid ongoing conflict and extensive damage reported.
- Israel used David's Sling interceptors against Iranian missiles fired Saturday night at Dimona and Arad, causing extensive damage and wounding dozens, the Israeli Air Force said Sunday.
- Iran's mullah regime has stepped up launches, prompting changes in interceptor use under military policy as the air defense array follows the Air Force commander's policy weighing interceptor stockpiles and active batteries.
- Interceptor costs differ sharply, with David's Sling costing about 1 million shekels and Arrow 3 designed by Israel Aerospace Industries to intercept threats outside the atmosphere at very high altitude.

- The campaign's scale has left Israel full of shrapnel impact scenes and pushed interceptor production since Oct. 7, 2023, after about 440 ballistic missiles were fired and 92% intercepted.
