Iran has managed to breach Israel's advanced missile defense systems, including the Iron Dome, by possibly exhausting interceptors, using hypersonic missiles, cruise missiles, and decoys, which challenge Israel's ability to intercept all incoming threats amid ongoing conflict and attrition.
Israel began 2024 with over 20 rockets fired by Hamas, coinciding with New Year's Eve celebrations. Most rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome system, and no injuries were reported. The IDF warned of ongoing conflict with Hamas, which still holds 129 Israelis captive. Additionally, Ilan Weiss was confirmed dead from an Oct. 7 attack, and the IDF struck a Hezbollah cell in southern Lebanon attempting to launch drones into Israeli territory. Meanwhile, Israel is reducing troop presence in parts of Gaza, indicating a potential scale-down of operations in the region.
