Early in the week, Iran launched a widespread missile attack on various buildings in the city of Irbil in the Kurdish region of Iraq, including the American consulate complex there, and on ISIS concentrations in Idlib in the northern Syrian desert and in Pakistan. In view of the extensive launches, do residents of Israel have reason to fear?
Iran is a great power in the field of missiles with a wide variety of ballistic missiles with different ranges, such as Shahab 3, Khorramshahr, and Sejil, which have a range of up to 2,000 km and the capacity to carry warheads up to 1,800 kg. The pro-Iranian militias in Syria and Iraq also possess various types of short range missiles, as well as Iranian-made cruise missiles and UAVs. According to reports by the Iranian command, Iran launched 24 ballistic missiles of various types in the attack conducted this week, using Fatah-110 missiles for a relatively short range (300 km) and Kheibar missiles with a long range of over 1,200 km. According to official Iranian reports, this is an innovative ballistic missile with a 1,500 kg warhead, with certain maneuvering capabilities.
Accompanying these launches was a covert message to Israel regarding Iran's capabilities in the field of ballistic missiles, both in terms of high accuracy and range.
It is important to remember: the State of Israel is equipped with several layers of protection against various types of rockets and ballistic missiles, with the crown jewel being the Arrow 3 system designed to deal with long range ballistic missiles outside the atmosphere (exo-atmospheric missile) and intercept them at a considerable distance from the target. The Arrow 2 and Arrow 3 missile systems have already proven their operational effectiveness when they successfully intercepted at a high altitude and at a considerable distance Iranian-made Shahab 3 long range ballistic missiles launched at Israel by the Houthi rebels from Yemen. The Iranians are surely aware of the proven operational capabilities of these systems, and in order to avoid operational embarrassment, they chose to launch ballistic missiles at isolated and unprotected targets accompanied by psychological warfare that includes visual descriptions and inflammatory rhetoric.
In conclusion, the Arrow missile system was designed to deal with various ballistic missiles, including long range and maneuvering ballistic missiles, and there is no doubt that the system will execute effectively the tasks of interception and defense of the country's skies.
