Israel attacked Iran’s nuclear bases, military bases and missile facilities under Operation Rising Lion, while the US attacked Fordo, Natanj and Isfahan from B-2 Stealth Bomber in Operation Midnight Hammer. In response, Iran fired more than 450 missiles and 1000 drones on Israel.
The limits of Israel’s Iron Dome Defense System were exposed in this war. Many strategic weaknesses were revealed. Let’s know that he can strengthen his defense strategy in the future for the five major subjugas from this war for Israel.
1. Boundaries of Iron Dome: Missile Defense Challenge
Israeli’s Iron Dome is one of the world’s most advanced missile defense systems, capable of preventing small and medium -distance missiles and drones. In this war, Iron Dome stopped 90% of Iran’s 450 missiles and 1000 drones. According to the Institute for the Study of War, Iran’s spot Kasem and Khyber Shakan missiles dodged Iron Dome. Damage in battium, Tel Aviv and Bir Sheva. 76 people were injured in an attack on Soroka Medical Center.

At x @Eylonalevy Wrote that Iron Dome is fantastic, but it cannot stop the attack of hundreds of missiles simultaneously. This war showed that the supply of iron dome and supply of interceptor missiles is limited. Israel will have to further strengthen systems such as Arrow-2, Arrow-3 and Davids Sling, as well as to increase investment on laser-based defense systems, which are inexpensive and fast.
2. Civil security and lack of bunkers
During the war in Israel, siren’s voices and compulsion to hide in bunkers became common. According to Reuters, 24–30 civilians were killed and 300–600 people were injured in Israel, mostly injured while running towards missile attacks or bunkers. Nine people were killed in the battle. Four women of the same family became victims of missile attack in Tamra. Civil infrastructure in Tel Aviv and Haifa damaged the infrastructure.
Israel will have to make more bunkers, because the safety of citizens is most important. This war showed that Israeli lacks public bunkers and civil security measures. In future, Israel will have to pay attention to modern bunkers, initial warning systems and emergency training in every city. Also, schools and hospitals have to be further secured.

3. Steering and intelligence information strength
Israeli’s Mossad and military intelligence unit 8200 played a key role in this war. According to the Atlantic Council report, Mossad deployed drones and weapons in Iran. Target 21 IRGC commanders and 10 nuclear scientists. Israeli obtained accurate information about Iran’s air defense systems and missile facilities, causing heavy losses to locations such as Natanj, Parchin and Khojir.
However, there were some shortcomings in Israeli intelligence. Iran had transferred some missiles to secret places, which Israel was not fully aware of. At x @tmgeopolitics Wrote that Mossad did a great job, but could not track Iran’s missile deployment completely. Israel will have to further strengthen cyber intelligence, satellite monitoring and human intelligence in the future.

4. Regional colleagues and international support needs
Israel gained support for the US and G7 countries in this war. In Operation Midnight Hammer, the US attacked Iran’s nuclear bases using 7B-2 stealth bomber and 125 aircraft. Jordan and Saudi Arabia also allowed the use of their airspace, giving the way to Israeli aircraft. However, countries like Türkiye and Qatar condemned Israel, which created regional separation.
At x @Insightgl Wrote that Israel needs regional colleagues, as dependence on America alone is risky. This war showed that Israel would have to increase strategic partnership with other Middle East countries, such as Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Egypt. Also, diplomatic relations with organizations such as the United Nations and IAEA have to be strengthened, so that global support is ensured in the future.
5. Management of economic and social influence
Israel suffered a financial loss of $ 12 billion in this war. Haifa’s Bazan oil refinery closed. The infrastructure in Tel Aviv and Bir Sheva was damaged. 100,000 Israeli remained stranded abroad. 40000 tourists and foreign nationals (including 1,200 Indians included) were fired from Israel. Schools remain closed. There was an atmosphere of fear among the citizens.
At x @Mashrafhaidari It was estimated that the Israeli economy would take time to recover from this war for a long time. Israel will have to increase economic flexibility in future, such as developing alternative sources of oil supply and regeneration of tourism. Also, social and psychological support programs have to be started to maintain civil morale.

Impact of war and future strategy
In this war, Israel pushed Iran’s nuclear program back years. 15,000 centrifuge were destroyed in Natanj. Military hideouts like Parchin and Khojir were destroyed. Israel also suffered losses. 24-30 citizens were killed. 300-600 injured. There was a financial loss of $ 12 billion. According to Financial Times, Israel weakened Iran’s military capacity, but Iran’s rule is still stable.
Israel will now have to change its defense strategy. It is necessary to further advance the iron dome, increase the number of bunkers, strengthen intelligence networks, increase regional partnership and ensure economic stability. Also, investment on laser defense systems and cyber war capabilities will have to be increased, so that multi-front attacks can be faced in future.
