A sobering warning: “The defense is not airtight”
Although Israel has some of the most advanced air defense systems in the world, the military has issued a very clear warning to citizens not to rely solely on technology in these situations. It was emphasized that the defense shields are not completely impervious to massive missile strikes.
“The defense is not airtight, and therefore it is absolutely critical that citizens continue to respect the Home Front Command’s directives. The public is urged to remain in protected areas and continue to follow their instructions,” concluded the Israeli military’s dramatic statement. N1 BiH.
