There are reports that Israel might not have enough Arrow interceptors to match the number of ballistic missiles Iran still has, which puts them in a tough spot. This is probably why there have been more impacts the last few days despite fewer numbers of missiles, as Israel is likely rationing interceptors. Sure, they can keep bombing, but they don’t really have the resources to finish the job on their own. If the U.S. doesn’t step in and this turns into a war of attrition, it’s hard to imagine a country with a tenth of Iran’s population holding up better in the long run. Israel knows that if this drags on, internal public sentiment could start turning against them (especially if they can’t conclusively eradicate the threat of nuclear weapons). That’s why I think the U.S. will ultimately step in, they’re not going to let Israel get stuck in a drawn-out conflict without a clear endgame. It just won’t happen. They completely sucked us into this.
