Gong Jiong, a professor at the University of International Business and Economics, told China Daily that Israel may soon encounter a dual dilemma. As the war drags on, Israeli people who are taking shelter from missiles in "safe rooms" and experiencing social life disruption, might take to the streets in protest, exerting tremendous political pressure on the Benjamin Netanyahu government. Additionally, intercepting missiles puts the defender in a disadvantageous position, akin to "hitting a bullet with a bullet". Facing Iran's stockpile of missiles, Israel's defense capability may have a huge problem.
