’Israel’, US in Joint Missile Drills

Local Editor

"Israel" and the United States carried out a joint missile test Friday, the "Israeli" war ministry said.

It further mentioned that the "Israel" Missile Organization and US Missile Agency completed a "successful" launch of the Arrow-3 anti-ballistic missile system over the Mediterranean.

According to the "Israeli" sources , "the Arrow, designed to counter long-range missiles, has successfully intercepted missiles similar to Iran's Shihab-3 in a variety of test conditions."
This comes as the Zionist entity and the US in November tested a separate part of the Tel Aviv's missile system, David's Sling.
It was the first time David's Sling was tested "in its entirety", including identifying the target missile, launching and successfully shooting it down.

David's Sling was aimed at bridging the gap between the Arrow and the much-vaunted Iron Dome system, with officials saying it is aimed at intercepting projectiles "from Grad to Scud".
"Israel" and the US also test-fired the Arrow Ballistic Missile system in September, in a joint exercise over the Mediterranean.

Friday's test came as Kerry met "Israeli" and Palestinian officials, in his latest push for a deal.
