Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon said that the successful test of the “Magic Wand” anti-missile system serves as “A further stepping stone in the Defense Ministry’s ability to defend the State of Israel, its citizens, and its strategic facilities.”

“The system’s development is a huge achievement for Israel’s security industries… It is further proof of the impressive abilities and great commitment of the developers, engineers, technicians and other people who worked on the project. They are worthy of every bit of praise from the citizens of Israel.”
