Israel's Arrow 3 Successfully Intercepts Ballistic Missile and Drone Attacks
TL;DR
Israel successfully used its advanced Arrow 3 defense system for the first time to shoot down a ballistic missile fired by Houthi rebels in Yemen. The Arrow 3 is capable of intercepting missiles outside the atmosphere, on the edge of space. This follows Israel's use of the Arrow 2 system last week to intercept another Houthi missile. The IDF also took down a suspicious target with its Patriot air defense system. The Houthis claim their missiles hit targets and vow to continue military actions in support of Palestinians until Israeli aggression in Gaza stops.
