According to Washington Post reports, citing assessments from the US Department of Defense (Pentagon), that 66% of the defensive weapons systems relied upon by Israel during the recent war were of American origin.
According to three American officials, US forces launched more than 200 interceptor missiles from the THAAD system, which is nearly half of the US stockpile of this type, in addition to more than 100 interceptor missiles fired by US warships in the eastern Mediterranean.
In contrast, Israel used fewer than 100 missiles from the Arrow system and around 90 missiles from the David’s Sling system, highlighting the gap in the scale of US and Israeli participation in the war.
