【Air Defense System Failure, Israel Endures a Tragic Weekend】
According to a report by Reuters, Israel experienced a tragic weekend as Iranian missiles broke through Israeli defenses late at night on March 21, hitting two cities in the south of the country, Dimona and Arad, causing over 120 people to be injured.
Notably, Dimona is only about 13 kilometers away from Israel's nuclear reactor. The attacked cities are also near many military bases, including Israel's largest Nevatim Air Force Base.
What embarrassed the Israeli military even more was the failure of its proud air defense system. Israeli military spokesperson Colonel Deverin admitted that although their air defense system was operating normally, it failed to intercept these missiles. He further stated: Israel will investigate this incident and learn from it. Even Netanyahu, who had previously boasted about Israel's achievements, could not remain calm. He issued a statement saying, "It was a very difficult night."
In contrast to Israel's suffering, Iran's morale has been greatly boosted by this successful strike. Iran's parliament speaker Qalibaf mocked, "The Israeli sky is completely unprotected," while Revolutionary Guards commander Musavi said: The "new tactics and launch system" used by Iran will shock the United States and Israel, and the war has entered a new phase.
There is no doubt that despite three weeks of bombing by the US and Israel, Iran's resilience far exceeds their expectations. It is currently unclear which missile Iran used for the breakthrough, but it is evident that Iran still has some hidden treasures, and missiles may not be exhausted in the short term.
