Analysis: "Israel’s near-total dependence on seawater desalination... has created a security vulnerability unlike that of the Persian Gulf states."

"While Gulf desalination facilities are spread across wide geographic areas, Israel’s production capacity is concentrated along a narrow stretch of coastline."

It is "vulnerable to... concentrated missile barrages or suicide drone attacks from multiple fronts."
