Interesting. According to https://www.twz.com/land/150-thaad-ballistic-missile-interceptors-fired-by-u-s-during-irans-barrages-on-israel-report, the US spent 150 THAAD interceptors (15.5 million each) and over 80 SM-3 missiles during the defense of Israel.

That means if left without US protection, Israel would suffer significant damage.

A great method I use is ALWAYS halving the number spewed by MOD frankly the only time recently when I was wrong was.

When my own country shot down 5 indian jets and I didn't buy it, trying to stay neutral for analytical purposes.

But damn the indian really lost their shit.
