Israel's defense system failed to stop Iranian missiles

The Israeli medium-range air defense system "David's Sling" failed to shoot down two Iranian ballistic missiles that hit the southern cities of Dimona and Arad, causing extensive damage and injuring about 200 people.

According to Israeli Air Force investigations, the two incidents are unrelated and occurred coincidentally within a two-hour period in the same area.

The missiles that hit the cities carried conventional warheads with hundreds of kilograms of explosives and are believed to belong to the Ghadr family of missiles, known to be a persistent threat. The David's Sling system was activated to intercept both, but the missiles were not stopped.

However, two previous attacks in the same area had been successfully neutralized by the same system, according to the military.

Since the start of the war, more than 400 ballistic missiles have been launched from Iran towards Israel, with an interception rate of about 92 percent for targets targeting populated areas and critical infrastructure.

Although not originally designed to counter long-range ballistic missiles, David's Sling has been used since 2025 against these threats, managing to shoot down several missiles launched from distances of up to 1,500 kilometers.

Israel operates a multiple air defense system, with Arrow 3 constituting the most advanced level for intercepting ballistic missiles in space.

However, the use of "David's Sling" in these cases is also related to efforts to save on the most expensive interceptors, as each missile of this system costs about $1 million, while an interception with "Arrow 3" can exceed $2.5 million.
