The US used a large portion of its advanced missile defence stockpile while defending Israel during the war with Iran, according to defence assessments cited by The Washington Post.
US forces reportedly fired more than 200 THAAD interceptors against Iranian ballistic missiles, amounting to roughly half of the Pentagon’s total inventory.
The report said Israel used far fewer of its own missile defence systems during the conflict.
According to the Post, Israeli forces launched fewer than 100 Arrow interceptors and about 90 David’s Sling missiles.
