On Thursday, CNN reported that US officials are seriously concerned that Israel’s aerial defense systems would not be able to withstand a large-scale Hezbollah attack if an all-out war were to occur.
According to the report, Israeli officials have told the US that Israel is planning to move resources from southern Gaza to northern Israel in preparation for a possible offensive in Lebanon.
A senior administration official told CNN: “We assess that at least some” Iron Dome batteries “will be overwhelmed,”.
The report said that an Israeli official believes this would be more likely to occur if Hezbollah conducts wide scale attacks mainly with precision-guided weapons, which would be more challenging to intercept.
Another US official confirmed to CNN that the US would provide additional Iron Dome replenishments and air defense systems in the event of a full blown war – with the US believing these would be the most critical shipments Israel would need in the war.
The IDF declined to comment.
