--The Israeli security forces performed the first ever night-time test of the Arrow missile defense system Saturday night. The experiment conducted with the Arrow anti-missile system is the 10th such experiment, and it is the interceptor pilot's 15th. "Actually, we used two Arrow batteries," a senior source said," one in the test field in central Israel, and the other in a different location. We wanted the distant battery to identify the threat and take actions, while the other battery receives data but remains passive."
