Iran Fires Sejjil Missile For First Time Amid Reports Israel Is Running Low On Interceptors (Videos)

Seven waves of Iranian missile attacks targeted Israel from the morning to the afternoon March 15, with Hebrew media reporting casualties and damage.

Many of the missiles launched by the Islamic Republic were armed with cluster warheads, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps even announced that it had used a Sejjil solid-fueled, multi-staged, medium range ballistic missile on one of the attacks.

Very little is known about the Sejjil, but the missile is reported to have a range from 2,000 to 2,500 kilometers, with a warhead weighing between 500 and 1,500 kilograms.

The missiles set off warning sirens across central Israel, and while the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced successful interceptions, multiple impacts were recorded, with Hebrew media reporting, citing the Magen David Adom ambulance service, that at least seven people were wounded.

Amid the attacks, the Israeli Health Ministry reported that in the past 24 hours, 108 wounded people have been taken to hospitals as a result of the war with Iran.

The ministry also said that since the start of the war with the Islamic Republic on February 28, 3,195 people have been admitted to hospitals, 81 of whom are currently hospitalized. Although not much details were given, the number includes both civilians and soldiers.

A day earlier, Semafor reported, citing American officials familiar with the matter, that Israel informed the United States this week that it is running “critically low” on ballistic missile interceptors.

The report said that the Americans have been aware for months that Israel has a low capacity, adding that the U.S. is not running low on interceptors of its own.

Additionally, the report claimed that Iran’s launch of missiles armed with cluster warheads “may exacerbate the depletion of the stock,” despite Israel’s use of shorter-range air defense systems like the Iron Dome and David’s Sling to shoot down the individual submunitions, rather than an anti-ballistic missile system.

While Iran is still introducing new types of missiles, the rate of fire appears to be steady. Israel’s multi-layered air defense network is, however, coming under increasing pressure, not just from the Islamic Republic, but also from Hezbollah in Lebanon which joined the war early on.

The IDF has already denied that it is running low on interceptions, according to The Times of Israel, but the readiness of the network as a whole could fall as the war drags on, even if there are sufficient stockpiles of interceptors. Technical problems will increase, and the need for maintenance will take some critical systems out of service for periods of time.

The Narrative

the poor iranians are suffering when all they wished was to be left alone with the ability to trade. running the invaders from from the region is a hell of a task to be burdened with. trump is just an epstine class rothschild owned puppet who is not allowed decisions. jd vance has disappeared form the media so he has some deniability when they run him or impeach trump. free palestine

Mia

all this is happening because putler betrayed syria and venezuela.

i pray every day for newsom’s victory and the liberation of maduro.

in my opinion, the russians and alawites deserve only death because they opened the gates of hell with their betrayal.

Mia

newsom may put trump in jail. what hegseth and trump did was sacrifice iranian girls to baal.

LilyLution

mom penelope and ex-wife samantha told the truth about hegseth. i hope he is convicted of sacrificing people to the devil. if the horned helmets during the invasion of congress weren’t a big enough sign, the announcement of the verdict and the placement of hegseth and trump in prison must be.

The Narrative

hegseth is expendable, a perfect goyem

i hope the in jur ed iran ian sailo rs will be tran sfer red to ch ina by the sri lan ka ns.t hey will be rec eiv ed at the hos pital by a fe ma le par am edic in a s hort sk irt a nd a f ace ma sk . t hen they will be cared for by nurses in sh ort skir ts and with their faces hidden behind masks. the head of the hospital will also be a chinese wo man and she will lead the operations.

the horned deity worshiped by maga is moloch. they killed 165 iranian girls. probably buried many more girls and boys at epstein’s ranch.worshippers of baal and moloch broke into the congress. the horned helmets are clear evidence that their god had horns. they are probably worshippers of enki or lucifer. i hope the power of their evil deity will poor that newsom will win the election. trump must be convicted. he should be imprisoned for pedophilia and for sacrificing girls to the devil.

does prince andrew have a pilot’s license? i think if andrew took the girls to epstein’s island, trump and epstein would then sacrifice them to baal this girls.

LilyLution

maga has its own ranches near its military bases where it raises red heifers. 165 iranian girls for the red full moon.for the finale, they will demolish a mosque in palestine, build a temple and sacrifice a red heifer in it.that’s why they raise red heifers, even though black and white cows are much better for milk. do you think these idiots wouldn’t be able to push a cow in an f-35 or an f-16?

Mia

red heifers are now being raised on ranches. and the red heifer, when she’s ready, they’ll load her onto a plane. maga took the girls on the lolita express and then sacrificed them on epstein island. of course, it is easy to put a red heifer in a military base to await sacrifice. but the heifer must be a real one, not a bull or a cow. a bull in a plane would probably become a problem for the soldiers soon. and it probably wouldn’t meet the standards of the rabbis.

Vladimira Puttana

would you put a bull in an f-35? i mean for the pilot?

Vladimira Puttana

trump sacrificed 165 iranian girls to the devil. this is human sacrifice. trump and maga worship moloch, which is why taxpayers bailed out trump when his companies were insolvent.
