Iran’s cluster missiles test Israel’s air-defence shield

Iran has fired dozens of cluster-munition missiles at Israel, forcing interception high in the atmosphere to prevent dispersed bomblets from causing ground harm; Israel’s Arrow-3 system intercepts most but one cluster missile struck Tel Aviv, killing a couple and damaging a train station, highlighting the challenge of neutralizing multi-submunition warheads that detonate on impact; roughly half of missiles since late February have cluster warheads, each containing multiple submunitions.

Israel's Arrow 3 Successfully Intercepts Yemeni Ballistic Missiles

Israel has confirmed the first operational use of its Arrow-3 system to intercept an enemy missile, marking the first operational intercept for the weapon since it was initially deployed in 2017. The Arrow-3 system, which is part of Israel's sophisticated air-defense network, successfully countered a salvo of ballistic missiles fired by Houthi militants, an Iran-backed group in Yemen. The Arrow-3 system, developed jointly with the US, is the top layer of Israel's multi-layered air-defense system and is designed to eliminate threats in space. Together with the Arrow-2 system, which has also been used during the recent conflict, they provide comprehensive protection against missiles, rockets, artillery, and drones.

Israel's Arrow 3 Successfully Intercepts Ballistic Missile and Drone Attacks

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.
