Iranian attacks have exposed the vulnerability of Israeli air defence systems: Analysis

There's been no let-up in the exchange of strikes between Israel and Iran. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is urging his country to unite - as Israeli attacks cause extensive damage in major cities. Air defence systems in Tehran were activated in response, early on Monday morning local time. At least 224 people have been killed in Iran since Friday. In Israel, at least 20 people have been killed since Friday. The latest wave of Iranian attacks targeted the major cities of Tel Aviv and Haifa. Suburbs and towns around Tel Aviv were also hit. In Bnei Brak, residential buildings and cars were damaged as well as a synagogue there. Israel's defence minister said, Tehran residents "would pay the price soon". Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, says it’s clear Israel’s vaunted missile defence systems are showing cracks as the casualty toll from Iranian attacks continues to rise.
