Israel denies shortage of interceptors for ballistic missiles. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar denied on Sunday a report that Israel is facing a shortage of missiles designated for intercepting ballistic missiles, more than two weeks into the war that has seen repeated attacks from Iran and Hezbollah. The U.S. news site Semaphore reported on Saturday, citing an unnamed U.S. official, that Israel had informed Washington that it was suffering from a severe shortage of interceptor missiles for ballistic missiles. When asked if the report was true, along with news reports from Israeli media that Israel was preparing for direct talks with Lebanon, Saar answered: 'The answer to both questions is no'.
