Iran would have been smart, perhaps, to have emptied the warheads before launching all those missiles and drones.
I've seen reports saying Israel intercepted 99 percent of the projectiles. That is cool and all, but Iran had to know Israel was going to pick them off. Why not just fire empty warheads? Israel is not going to know if real warheads are headed their way or empty warheads. Israel has to expend its military resources to fend off the attack.
I see one meme suggesting Israel spent $1billion out of its defense system inventory shielding off the missiles and drones. That is a hefty enough expense. The meme says, "Israel says Iranian attack 'foiled' Iran claims 'success' "
Who knows, maybe Iran did hold back on its actual warheads being on all the missiles and drones. Just fire off empty projectiles and waste away Israel's defense system. Then, if you can deplete the defense system enough after so many such attacks, strike to kill.
And, even if you don't deplete the system enough for a future kill strike, you have won the battle of economics; you've reduced Israel's military funds.
