Former Pentagon Advisor: The Situation in Israel is Truly Dire

According to Saednews, in unprecedented remarks, Douglas MacGregor, a retired U.S. Army officer and former advisor to the U.S. Department of Defense (Pentagon), revealed shocking details about the consequences of Iran’s recent missile attack on Israel — details largely hidden from mainstream media.

MacGregor disclosed that the Israeli government had not properly anticipated the extent of the damage inflicted by Iran. Quoting Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s Minister of Internal Security, he said: “When Ben-Gvir was asked why they sought help from the U.S. only 72 hours after the attack, he replied: Because we did not understand the true power of Iran’s missiles.”

The program host asked MacGregor: “How much damage has Iran inflicted on Israel’s defenses and Israel itself? Do we have any information? Because it seems the Israelis are trying to hide this and censor the news.”

The former Pentagon official stated, “I think the Israelis are really in a bad situation. It is said that about one-third of Tel Aviv has been damaged or destroyed, and it appears this trend will continue.”

According to MacGregor, Israel’s situation is critically severe: “Regarding military installations as well, I have been told that Israel is transferring many of its aircraft out of the country — many are being moved to Cyprus — to keep them safe from being targeted. Honestly, I think Israel is in a very fragile state.”

He concluded with a warning that Israel’s missile defense capacity is running out, and field reports indicate that the Iron Dome system is no longer able to intercept missiles: “They only have a few more days of missile defense capacity left; their missile defense systems are running out. Some people in the region describe the ‘Iron Dome’ as having become like a ‘sieve’ — meaning it has lost its effectiveness.”
