Israel Says More Than 1,000 Iranian Missiles Still Threaten It

Israel assesses that Iran still has more than 1,000 missiles capable of reaching it, while Hezbollah’s arsenal in Lebanon includes as many as 10,000 shorter-range rockets, according to military briefings cited by Israeli media this weekend.

In an interview with Channel 12, an Israeli air force officer provided the tally of remaining Iranian ballistic missiles in what appeared to be an official break from earlier refusals to disclose estimates of Tehran’s arsenal. The estimate of 8,000 to 10,000 rockets in Hezbollah hands was reported by Israel’s Army Radio.
