The Israeli Defense Ministry on Monday announced the successful testing of an upgraded version of the Iron Dome missile defense system.
According to Channel 10 TV, Iron Dome intercepted a missile heavier than a Fajr – the type fired at Tel Aviv and Yerushalayim by Hamas in November – and fired from a greater distance. This suggests that Iron Dome is being upgraded to protect Israeli cities against longer-range missile threats.
