Israel: Tel Aviv to Test Arrow Missile Interceptor Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz has said Israel is planning a test of its Arrow missile interceptor system soon, the Associated Press reported today (see GSN, Oct.7, 2002). The test will involve multiple interceptor launches, as opposed to previous tests, Mofaz said. So far, Israel has conduced nine Arrow tests, with eight considered successful, AP reported. “I hope that the test will succeed because sometimes there are technical problems that don’t necessarily demonstrate the capability of the weapon system,” Mofaz said in an interview with the Israeli newspaper Ma’ariv. “If it doesn’t succeed, we will have time to fix it and act accordingly,” he added (Laurie Copans, Associated Press/Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Jan. 2).
