Israel successfully tested “breakthrough” capabilities of its Arrow 3 anti-ballistic missile system Tuesday, the country’s Defense Ministry reported.

The proven capabilities can be used by the Israeli Air Force, The Times of Israel reported.

“We have made a breakthrough in every part of the system, in the detection arrays, in the launches, even in the interceptors themselves, so that they match the threats that are expected in the region,” said Moshe Patel, head of the Defense Ministry’s missile defense organization.
