Israel tested its new rockets
A new Israeli air shield against rockets more powerful than those intercepted by Iron Dome in the Gaza conflict passed its first field test last week after being rushed through development, officials said on Sunday, the Globe and Mail reports.
They said that David’s Sling, billed as Israel’s answer to the longer-range missiles of Lebanese Hezbollah guerrillas and Syria, shot down a target rocket in a secret Nov. 20 desert trial that coincided with fierce shelling exchanges between Israel and Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
