It seems Iraq's hezbollah forces have warned the US to step down and they are in full preparation mode to attack American forces if they do a wrong

I think they have THAAD as well, but probably very few. how many launchers per battery?

Fattah-1/2 should be mass produced for specific role of targeting Patriot, Arrow and David Sling ABM launchers and radars. particularly TPY-2 and Green Pine radars. Even using dozens of cheaper missiles to target one such radar in a saturation strike would be worth it

The US sent THAAD to bolster Israel's defenses in addition to additional Patriot batteries. Recent news that a US Navy CG is also close to Israel for protection.

1 THAAD battery - 6-9 launchers with 8 missiles per launcher
1 Arrow 2/3 batteries - 4-8 launchers with 6 missiles per launcher
1 Patriot battery - 8 launchers per battery (16 PAC-3 missiles per launcher versus four PAC-2 missiles per launcher)
1 David Sling battery - 6 launchers with 12 missiles per launcher
1 Iron Dome battery - 3-4 launchers with 20 Tamir interceptors per launcher

Why western Media experts talking about Israeli air defence like its the best, its only good for home made rockets made from plastic bottles and gun powder accompanied by Nokia 3310 if a good rocket is used it will easily fly through the super defence power called iron dome.

As long as iran sticks to military target America is going to play a game of tag even Biden knows Israel has basically cashed most of their chips in with this administration they are not going to fight a war for them

What is "Quds Air Defense Force" ?

the list doesn't really make sense. Sayyad-4/4B are missiles of Bavar-373 so not sure why they are included separately.

Also missing: Arman, Mehran, Khordad-15, 9th Dey, Zubin and probably some others.

It's the Air Defense Force that says The Military Balance 2024. The Air Force equivalent of the Islamic Revolutionary Quds Force, although I believe it is the Air Force equivalent of the IRGC.

If I was Iran I would go for Israel’s infrastructure power plants etc

it was more of a rhetorical question. no such branch exists in iran. there is the IRI Air Defence Force and the IRGC-ASF. Qods Force is branch of IRGC dedicated to extraterritorial operations (i.e. outside of Iran), but they don't have their own air force.

I don't know about that, I know they have based THAAD in Saudi Arabia. In Israel, the Americans have 1 AN/TPY-2 X-band radar at Mount Keren.

Jordan: 2 bty M902/M903 Patriot PAC-3/PAC-3 MSE
Kuwait: 2 SAM bty M902/M903 Patriot PAC-3/PAC-3 MSE
Qatar: 2 SAM bty M902/M903 Patriot PAC-3/PAC-3 MSE and 1 AN/TPY-2 X-band radar
United Arab Emirates: 2 SAM bty M902/M903 Patriot PAC-3/PAC-3 MSE
Saudi Arabia: 1 SAM bty M902/M903 Patriot PAC-3/PAC-3 MSE and 1 SAM bty THAAD

It's not about the immediate success of the attack, it's about the aftermath and the consequences
