Only 65% of the missiles launched by Iran in the last 24 hours have been intercepted by the Iron Dome system of Israel, compared to almost 90%, the NBC News television network, a former high -ranking official, told the Israeli Secret Services.
“Iran still has very advanced missiles and uses them,” said this source, which still receives information from the Israeli government.
The official, who is not authorized to make public statements due to the sensitive nature of the information, said that faster Iranian missiles during the last 24 hours have left Israel less time to prepare before the projectiles are approaching targets.
“Until yesterday, I received a warning about 10-11 minutes before the rockets fall effectively. But this morning, the warning was given six or seven minutes before. This means that the missiles were probably much faster than the previous ones,” said the person.
“More importantly, the Iranians have a navigation system for the final phase of the attack, which helps them to be very precise and attack exactly the desired targets, such as today's Beersheba hospital,” said the former official of Israeli Intelligence Services.
A long -lasting observer of Iranian activities in the region, the former official added that the Tehran regime, despite the significant losses suffered at the leading level following the surprise attack launched by Israel last week, still has rocket stocks that could support the long -term reprisals, describing this strategic patience.
Claiming that some officials and analysts from Israel and the entire region prematurely disregard the ability to react Iran, he added that the Tehran regime has “the decision and the ability to continue and support the attacks, so we must be much more cautious when we talk about the collapse of the regime”.
