Referring to the successful test of the Arrow 2 missile defense system, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu asserted that Israel is ready to meet any threat it might face.

"I commend the security branch and the security industry for yet another successful test of the Arrow 2 weapon," Netanyahu said. "We have proven yet again that the State of Israel possesses powerful offensive and defensive weapons, some of the best in the world. I would like to express deep appreciation to our US ally for jointly advancing our security. Now our enemies and those who seek to harm us know that Israel is ready and prepared to meet any threat."
