(28 Jul 2019) Israel and the United States say they have successfully tested a jointly developed missile defence system in Alaska.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at a Cabinet meeting Sunday that the Arrow 3 gives his country the "ability to act against ballistic missiles fired against us from Iran and from any other location."
"All of our enemies should know that we will overcome them both defensively and offensively," said Netanyahu.
US Ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, said the Trump administration was "delighted" with the results, adding that the Arrow 3 would serve as a "critical element of Israel's missiles defence."
Arrow 3, along with the Iron Dome, David's Sling, and the Arrow 2 systems, is part of the multi-layered shield Israel is developing to defend against rockets fired from Gaza and Lebanon, as well as Iran's long-range missiles.
