Israeli Air/Missile Defenses
▪️Incoming strikes hitting targets across Israel may not be indicative of Israel exhausting its defenses but instead of local saturation & the fact no defense system is 100% effective;
▪️Saturation occurs when defenses are temporarily overwhelmed by more incoming targets in a specific area than can be intercepted at any given time;
▪️Full depletion of Israeli air defenses would be indicated by more incoming strikes hitting targets than being intercepted;
▪️To ascertain how long Israeli air defenses can be sustained, monthly production rates and stockpile levels of both Israeli and Hezbollah arsenals must be known;
▪️Such numbers are difficult to come by, especially for Hezbollah since its arsenal has likely been targeted/compromised by Israeli strikes;
▪️Objective analysis requires determining the difference between failure rates, saturation & the actual depletion of Israeli defenses;
