IDF Intercepts Houthi Missile Targeting Eilat
(Ynet News-Times of Israel) Yoav Zitun - The IDF spokesperson said Thursday that a surface-to-surface missile targeting the city of Eilat was intercepted by the Arrow defense system at a long distance away from Israel. It was the first time that Israel's most advanced air defense system, the Arrow 3, made a successful interception of a missile, the Defense Ministry said. Previous interceptions with the Arrow system in recent weeks - a Houthi ballistic missile from Yemen and a long-range rocket from Gaza - were downed using the older Arrow 2 missile.
