Israel upgrades missile shield over Iran, Syria fears
Israel is upgrading its ‘Arrow II’ missile shield over fears of possible attacks by Iran and Syria. The ‘Block-4’ system is currently being installed and deployed across the country, a senior Israeli defense official said on Sunday.
The Block-4 completed a successful test-run by the US Missile Defense Agency and the Israeli Missile Defense Organization in February. The system, which has been in development for over four years, provides greater accuracy and the ability to intercept missiles even further away.
"It is part of the technological race in the region," Reuters said, citing an Israeli official who declined to be named due to the controversial nature of the program.
