Over the past week, Israel has pummeled Iran with airstrikes and Iran has sent barrages of ballistic missiles and drones toward Israel. At least 24 people in Israel and 224 people in Iran have been killed in attacks since June 13, their governments have reported.

Iranian missiles have again evaded Israel’s sophisticated aerial defense array, striking southern Israel’s main hospital as well as residential areas in the country’s populous center.

As the conflict enters its second week, a critical factor influencing its duration is the balance between Israel's supply of missile interceptors and Iran's long-range missile stockpile.
