US or some other NATO country will likely deploy fighter jets to try and intercept it before it even reaches the Iron Dome, like they did when Iran sent that drone strike a few months back. Iran knows all this and may decide to hit Israeli troops in Lebanon instead. What ends up happening is something we’ll just have to wait and see.

They’re saying ballistic missiles, not cruise missiles though. Those are too fast and too vertical to be intercepted with aircraft.
I did not know that. Thanks for clarifying. Would it be safe to assume an ant-ballistic missile/system would be used?
Yes, I imagine they’d use the Arrow 3, and the US Navy could probably help out with SM3s if they were instructed to intervene.
Guess we’ll find out soon enough given what just happened. Thanks for the insight and the links though.
