Wow, friends, have you heard? Recently, in order to intercept Iran's missiles and drones, the Israeli army's defense cost exceeded $1 billion overnight! As soon as this incident came out, netizens exploded, some said it was worth it, some said it was not worth it, and the noise was so hot!

This has to start with a report by the Israeli news network "Ynet". According to the report, Rim Aminoach, a former financial adviser to the Israeli military, gave an astonishing estimate: In order to deal with the Iranian threat, the Israeli army will have to defend itself at a cost of $10 to $1.3 billion overnight! You heard it right, it's $1 billion! That's more than 10 times higher than the cost of an Iranian attack!
So, where did the $1 billion go? Rim Aminoacchi gave a breakdown. He said that Israel's "Arrow" air defense system costs $3.5 million to intercept a missile, while the "David Slingshot" air defense system costs $1 million to intercept missiles. In addition to this, you have to count the cost of other weapons and equipment such as jet fighters. That's a lot of money!
However, as soon as this matter came out, netizens couldn't sit still. Some netizens said: "This money is well spent! After all, national security is the most important thing, and no matter how much money is spent, we have to protect our homeland!" Some netizens said: "This money is a bit too much! Although the Iranian threat is real, it will not cost so much money overnight, right? How much taxpayers' hard-earned money will be spent!"
To be honest, I'm a little confused about this. On the one hand, I understand Israel's efforts to defend its national security, after all, no one wants to turn their own doorstep into a battlefield these days. But on the other hand, I have to say that the cost of defense is indeed a bit high! After all, this amount of money is not a small amount, and how many families must have to make up so much money!
But then again, Israel can't be blamed for this. After all, Iran's missiles and drones are not vegetarians, and once they do hit them, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, Israel is also doing this in order to prevent problems before they occur and to ensure the security and stability of the country.
Overall, this is a classic "worth it or not" debate. Some people feel that it is worth spending more money for the sake of national security, while others feel that this issue should be viewed more rationally. Either way, though, we should recognize that both war and defense come at a cost. It is hoped that Israel will find a more efficient and economical way to defend itself, which will not only protect its national security, but also avoid unnecessary waste.
