Israel Intercepts Iranian Missile in Space with Arrow 3
Israel used a special weapon called Arrow 3 to destroy an Iranian missile while it was in space.
This is like shooting down the missile before it even gets close to Earth.
The Arrow 3 system can hit missiles that are traveling very far away.
Israel, with help from the United States, created this system to protect itself from attacks.
Israel intercepted an Iranian ballistic missile in space using the Arrow 3 system.
The interception occurred during a coordinated missile barrage from Iran.
Exoatmospheric interception involves destroying missiles outside Earth's atmosphere.
Arrow 3 is designed to intercept long-range ballistic missiles.
The system was developed with assistance from the US-based Boeing.
