Tehran’s strategy is to surround the Jewish state with as many 'fire bases' as it can—from Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, the Gaza Strip, and in the future, from Judea and Samaria, as well as from Iran itself.

Israel completed a successful test of the advanced 'Arrow 2' missile defense system jointly with the U.S. Missile Defense Agency.

Israel’s Ministry of Defense conducted another full simulation test for the Arrow 2 missile defense system. The full degree of success will be decided after full analysis of the test data.
