Israel’s Iron Dome at Risk of Being Overwhelmed in War with Hezbollah, Warns US Officials

US officials have warned that Israel's Iron Dome anti-missile defense system could be overwhelmed in a potential all-out war with Hezbollah. The militants in Lebanon have the capability to fire up to 3,000 missiles a day, raising concerns about the escalation of conflict. The assessment, which was delivered by US officials last week and supported by experts in Israel and the United States, highlights the potential dangers of a war with Hezbollah. There are fears that such a conflict could be even more devastating than the 2006 second Lebanon war, which resulted in significant destruction in Lebanon due to Israeli bombing. The concerns about the Iron Dome's ability to handle a large volume of incoming missiles in a conflict with Hezbollah have raised alarm bells about the potential consequences of such a confrontation. The situation remains tense as both sides navigate the delicate balance of power in the region.
