Israel Tests Defenses Against Cruise and Ballistic Missiles
(Jerusalem Post) Udi Shaham - The Israel Missile Defense Organization (IMDO) said Tuesday it successfully completed a series of live-fire intercept tests of an advanced version of the David's Sling weapon system against cruise and ballistic missiles. The tests also demonstrated the capabilities of the Iron Dome system in intercepting UAVs and cruise missiles. They further demonstrated the interoperability of Israel's multilayered air defenses (Arrow, David's Sling, and Iron Dome) to intercept different threats simultaneously. The tests were conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA).
