Israel Iran war: Netanyahu is spending THIS amount every night to stop Iranian long-range ballistic missiles and..., Pakistan's economy is not even...
Israel Iran war: It is raining missiles on the skies of Israel and Iran. Israel is running short of Arrow interceptor missiles to defend against long-range ballistic missiles. According to a report, this shortage will put Israel's ability to deal with missile attacks at risk if the conflict with Iran continues.
Israel's defensive interceptors cost a lot. After Iran's missile and drone attacks, reports of their stock decreasing rapidly have started coming. This is the reason why their cost has become a matter of great concern. Israel is spending crores of rupees every night to stop Iranian missiles.
If comparison is done, small countries like Pakistan cannot even imagine this. Know here how much these defensive interceptors of Israel cost and how much it is spending daily to protect against Iranian missile attacks.
Israel's multi-layered air defense system mainly consists of three interceptors:
1. Arrow system: Arrow interceptor missiles are designed to intercept long-range and very high-altitude ballistic missiles. These are most effective in intercepting Iran's ballistic missiles. These are the most expensive. The cost of an Arrow interceptor missile is said to be between $2 million and $3 million (approximately Rs 16.7 crore to Rs 25 crore).
2. David's Sling is meant to intercept medium to long-range missiles, such as large rockets and cruise missiles. An interceptor missile of the David's Sling system costs more than $1 million (approximately Rs 8.3 crore).
3. Iron Dome is designed to intercept short-range rockets, mortars and drones fired from Gaza by groups such as Hamas. The Iron Dome interceptor, known as Tamir, is relatively inexpensive. It can cost anywhere from $20,000 to $100,000 (roughly Rs. 16.7 lakhs to Rs. 83 lakhs) per missile. Some reports put the price at $50,000 to $150,000.
Total cost comes up to…
Israel's depletion of interceptor stock and cost impact Israeli financial daily 'The Marker' estimates that Israel is spending up to $285 million (about Rs 2,380 crore) every night to prevent Iranian missile attacks. This expenditure mainly includes the use of expensive interceptors such as the Arrow system.

'Plan to kill, humiliate Muslims...: Netanyahu's 'Greater Israel' plan sparks Arab outrage, Houthi leader issues chilling warning, says...
Houthi leader Abdul Malik Houthi warned of 'bad consequence' for Israel. (File) Israel-Hamas war: Amid the outpouring of anger from the Arab world over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's remarks on 'Greater Israel', the Jewish state has now drawn the ire of one of its oldest foes, the Yemeni Houthis, who have condemned Israeli PM's statement, calling it a plan to 'kill and humiliate Muslims'. What did the Houthi leader say? In a televised address on a Houthi-run TV channel, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the leader of Yemen's Ansar Allah, warned of 'bad consequences' for Israel if Benjamin Netanyahu moves forward with his contentious 'Greater Israel' plan. The Houthi leader said Netanyahu's plan, backed by the United States, was a clear attempt to ' divide and humiliate the Islamic Ummah'. 'Israel ultimate goal is to kill Muslims in the Arab world, or force them to migrate in large numbers, to establish its dominance over the Muslim Ummah. After bombing Palestine, Lebanon, Iran and other Muslim nations, Netanyahu is now openly talking about a Greater Israel, making it clear the Israel and US plan to subjugate Arab Muslims,' he alleged. Why Abdul-Malik slammed Arab world? Abdul-Malik also lashed out at the Arab world for not strongly opposing Netanyahu's comments, calling the alleged inaction of the Arab Muslim nations as 'worrying'. The Houthi leader, one of key figures in the Yemeni civil war, also condemned Israel's brutal military campaign in the Gaza Strip, accusing the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) of killing journalists to prevent the truth about the atrocities in Gaza from reaching the world. 'What is happening in Gaza is more horrific than any crimes committed in any other part of the world, but the world continues to watch silently as Israel massacres innocent Palestinians, including women and children.' Why 'Greater Israel' is controversial? Greater Israel is an idea popular among Israel's extreme right-wing, which proposes the contentious plan of absorbing neighboring Arab countries, including Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Iraq and a large part of Saudi Arabia, into a greater Jewish state. The idea proposes the use of military might to occupy Israel's Arab neighbors and absorbing their territory to expand the state of Israel. Meanwhile, the backlash over Benjamin Netanyahu's comments over Greater Israel comes days after Israel Defense Forces (IDF) chief Eyal Zamir opposed the Israeli Prime Minister's plan to occupy parts of the Gaza Strip which are not already under the control of Israel.

DDA's land licensing model bags ₹10,000 cr deal with Fleur Hotels
The project is expected to generate approximately Rs 10,000 crore over a 55-year period Press Trust of India New Delhi The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has awarded the first project under its new Special License Property (SLP) initiative to Fleur Hotels, a subsidiary of Lemon Tree Hotels, officials said on Saturday. The project is expected to generate approximately Rs 10,000 crore over a 55-year period. "DDA had invited bids through a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued on May 2, 2025, for a 2-acre land parcel in Nehru Place earmarked for a five-star hotel. The bidding process, conducted on August 13, saw Fleur Hotels secure the project with an annual license fee offer of Rs 27.19 crore, about 50 per cent higher than the reserve price of Rs 18 crore," DDA said in a statement. This marks a major shift in DDA's land disposal policy. Moving away from the traditional freehold and perpetual lease models, the SLP initiative allows long-term development on an annual license basis. Reforms set into motion last year by Lt Governor VK Saxena, have yielded spectacular results in terms of revenue generation for the DDA even while facilitating the much needed developments in the capital, the statement added. According to officials, the Rs 10,000-crore revenue estimate includes annual fee escalations over the 55-year license term. "This new model is expected to significantly boost DDA's income, while facilitating key infrastructure development across hospitality, healthcare, logistics, and retail sectors," the statement added. The project awarded to Fleur Hotels will see the development of "Aurika" at Nehru Place, one of Delhi's largest luxury hotels with over 500 rooms. Lemon Tree Hotels, which operates more than 110 properties in over 75 cities, plans to bring its upscale brand experience to the Capital through this venture.
