Iran Tests Shihab-3 Missile that Puts Israel within Range
(Ha'aretz) Yoav Stern- Iran Wednesday said it has successfully field tested the Shihab-3 ballistic missile, which defense experts say can reach Israel. The Shihab-3 is based on the North Korean Nodong-1 missile, modified with Russian technology. The 16-meter-long missile is thought to have a range of 1,300 km, which would allow it to strike Israel. One of its modifications is that its one-ton warhead splits, which makes it difficult to bring down.
