The Israel Ministry of Defense has unveiled documentation capturing the operational launch of an 'Arrow' interceptor during the "Swords of Iron" war.
The Israel Missile Defense Organization (IMDO) in the Ministry of Defense's Directorate of Defense R&D (DDR&D) captured the operational launch in southern Israel.
The Israeli Air Force's Air and Missile Defense Array executed the launch and intercepted the designated target.
On Thursday evening, Israeli Air Defense Array soldiers for the first time successfully launched an "Arrow 3" interceptor operationally.
The interceptor effectively intercepted a target launched towards Israel in the Red Sea region.
Thursday's interception marks the Arrow 3 system's first operational interception since its operational deployment in 2017.
