Prime Minister and Defense Minister Binyamin Netanyahu referred to the successful Arrow 3 test in the US at the start of today's cabinet meeting.

"The Arrow 3 intercepted ballistic missiles outside the atmosphere, and the tests were beyond expectations; the execution was perfect.

"Today Israel has the ability to act against ballistic missiles launched against us from Iran or anywhere else. This is a tremendous achievement for Israel's security. Our enemies will know that both in defense and in offense we can beat them."
