I think we intercepted 800-1000 drones a few ballistic missiles . The situation might have been different but we also covered a much bigger area.,
More than 3 cities.
We need at scale deployment of Kusha, AD-1 and AD-2 to come close to IDF's capacity.Drones ≠ Ballistic Missiles
Drones are easy to neutralize. Ballistic missiles are a totally different ball game. Imagine a saturated BM attack on our heavily populated cities. 100s of BM falling on a small area can saturate any SAM system. It is difficult to defend against any saturation attack, be it drones, rocket, CMs with a missile based defence system. And let's not forget that unlike drones and CMs that travel at sub-sonic speeds which are relatively easy to track and intercept, BMs at terminal phase approach it's target at hypersonic speed.
It took US THAAD, SM-2ER and SM-3 assisting Israeli Arrow 2 and Arrow 3 to shoot down 100+ BMs out of the launched 150 (approx).
Our AD is designed against jets, CMs and drones.
S-400 has limited BMD capability. Our own phase 1 is deployed but even with phase 2, we can't say for sure that we can defend against what Israelis are facing.

IRGC Intelligence chief also targeted and Iranian proxies likely seeing writing on the wall

This THAAD system US gave is the top of the line for USA after this there is nothing better? This has failed In Israel it does not bode well for South Korea and other US Allies like Saudi Arabia .Drones ≠ Ballistic Missiles

how far off are AD1 and AD2 systems from deployment , ?
After all the assassinations why would these clowns be at the intelligence headquarters ?
