People’s Financial News, March 15 — According to Israeli sources on the 15th, the Israel Defense Forces deny reports that their air defense interceptors are “se seriously insufficient” and that stockpiles are running low. An officer stated that the IDF had planned its military actions against Iran several months in advance. The IDF prepared enough air defense interceptors and is ready for a “long-term war” with Iran that could last for weeks. The actual number of interceptors used in current operations is “less than expected.” Previously, Israeli statistics indicated that after the conflict broke out on February 28, Iran launched approximately 300 ballistic missiles at Israel over about two weeks, fewer than the 500 missiles launched during the “12 Days War” in June 2025.
