Israel Starts Building a Third Arrow 2 Battery

October 25, 2010 :: Jerusalem Post :: News

Adding to its two existing Arrow 2 interceptor sites in the North and the South, Israel is building a third site near centrally located Tel Aviv. The central location will provide more coverage; additionally, the new control system for the new battery will operate as a backup fire-control for the other two sites. The Arrow 2 system is Israel's defense against longer-range missiles from Syria or Iran; the other layers of Israel's missile defense include David's Sling (medium-range and cruise) and Iron Dome (short-range).
