In response to a drone strike on a school building in the city of Eilat, the Israeli army said it had attacked a target in Syria. The army has become acquainted with the organization that carried out the attack, the army reported on Friday on X (formerly Twitter).
The military holds Syria “fully responsible for any terrorist activity originating from its territory.” The school was damaged by a drone on Thursday. The origin of the drone and the incident as a whole would be investigated, it was initially said. There were no reports of injuries.
Missile intercepted for the first time with “Arrow 3”.
The Israeli Defense Forces have successfully used their new missile defense system “Arrow 3” for the first time. An object fired at Israel was intercepted in the Red Sea area, Israel’s Defense Ministry said late Thursday.
Yemen’s Shiite Houthi rebels had previously announced they had attacked Israel with rockets. It was initially unclear whether the intercepted missile was a Houthi missile.
“The Arrow missile intercepted a threat traveling far from the State of Israel,” military spokesman Daniel Hagari said. “We intercepted a surface-to-surface missile fired in our direction,” he explained.
Can launch missiles at an altitude of more than 100 km
Together with “David’s Sling” and “Iron Dome”, Arrow forms the Israeli anti-aircraft defense system. The “Arrow” can destroy enemy missiles at an altitude of more than 100 kilometers and therefore outside the atmosphere in early space with a direct hit.
“Arrow” consists of the command post, radar sensors, launchers each with four “Arrow 3” guided missiles and other peripheral equipment. Germany also recently purchased the “Arrow 3” missile defense system developed by Israel and the US.
