Each Iron Dome interception missile is estimated to cost approximately $50,000, if not more, according to experts. Israel fires two missiles per interception, Yehoshua Kalisky, a senior researcher the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) in Tel Aviv, told CNN. Israel has been intercepting projectiles almost daily since the war with its northern neighbor began. Just...

“They are also very maneuverable, able to perform complex and sharp movements in the air and go up and down and below the sight of detection systems,” says Yehoshua Kalisky, a senior researcher at the Institute of National Security Studies. “One of the complexities of [Israel’s defense] mission is to build a picture of what one is really seeing in the sky,” Mr. Haimovitz says....

“We are not seeing Hizbollah’s full capability yet. It has only been firing at around a tenth of its estimated prewar launching capacity, a few hundred rockets a day instead of as many as 2,000,” said Assaf Orion, a former Israeli brigadier general and head of strategy at the Israel Defense Forces.

Orna Mizrahi, a senior research fellow at the Israeli Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) in Tel Aviv, told CNN that such unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are harder to detect because they “are small in size, very light, with very low radar signature.” Iran and its allies are seeking to overwhelm Israel’s defense systems, Mizrahi said, adding drones to the equation...

“Most, if not all, of the drones are manufactured by the Iranians and then supplied to the armed groups in Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen,” Dr Yehoshua Kalisky, senior researcher of the Institute of National Security Studies in Tel Aviv, told the BBC.

Data from the Institute of National Security Studies (INSS) at Tel Aviv University shows that since the conflict began a year ago, 180 drones have been launched by Houthi rebels, 150 by Shia militias in Iraq, and 170 by Iran. Most of these drones have been intercepted, many before entering Israeli airspace. ...Dr. Yehoshua Kalisky, a senior researcher at INSS, explained that...

What are Hezbollah's capabilities, why are they not firing on central Israel and can Israel's aerial defense system cope with a large number of missiles? Dr. Yehoshua Kalisky, a senior researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS), an expert on laser, electro-optical and sensor technologies explains the situation to "Globes."

The Iron Dome is a key component of Israel’s multi-layered air defence system, which also includes the Arrow-2 and Arrow-3 systems, designed to target ballistic missiles from significant distances, and David's Sling for mid-range threats. Yehoshua Kalisky from the Institute for National Security Studies explained that the Iron Dome serves as the final line of defence against...

According to Dr. Yehoshua Kalisky, a senior researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) in Tel Aviv, Israel’s concern is limited. The embargos’ damage to it is “minimal and only to complementary and uncritical components.” The American slowdown of precision-guided bombs will only backfire on the US. So instead of hitting a military target, it could be a...
