Israel military says 'no interceptor shortage' after reports of scarcity
Jerusalem, March 15 (AFP) Mar 15, 2026
An Israeli military source on Sunday denied media reports that Israel was running low on missile interceptors crucial to its air defences, adding that the army was "continuously monitoring the situation".

Citing US officials, news outlet Semafor had reported that Israel had informed the United States that it was "running critically low on ballistic missile interceptors", as the US-Israeli war against Iran entered its third week.

"As of now, there is no interceptor shortage. The IDF prepared for prolonged combat. We are continuously monitoring the situation," the military source said, in response to media queries.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar also dismissed the reports when questioned by journalists earlier on Sunday.
