As part of the Israel Defense Forces' (IDF) preparations for a possible attack from Iran, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and potentially Shia militias in Iraq, Israeli air defense systems have been deployed at the highest possible alert level. This deployment aims to intercept rockets, missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and more.
The "Arrow" system, after deployment, is extensively prepared to intercept long-range surface-to-surface missiles from Iran and Yemen. The David's Sling system is on standby to intercept missiles and aerial threats, while the Iron Dome system is ready to counter rockets, missiles, and UAVs.
Additionally, IDF fighter jets are patrolling the skies to detect and intercept aerial threats. The Air Force is also preparing a response, in case it becomes necessary.

Beyond these defensive preparations by the IDF, Israel maintains full coordination with the United States Central Command and the international coalition, which assisted in intercepting threats launched by Iran towards Israel on April 14. In addition, The United States is sending aircraft carriers, fighter jets, warships, and defense systems to the region.
However, despite these preparations, there are currently no special instructions for the Israeli public from the IDF Home Front Command.

I have a hunch the offensive missiles are a lot cheaper and therefore much more numerous than the defensive missiles. I suspect at some point the goat fuckers will just try to overwhelm the system.
