The Arrow, which operates outside the atmosphere, has been used in the current war to intercept long-range missiles launched by Houthi militants in Yemen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>David&#8217;s Sling:<\/strong> Also developed with the U.S., the David&#8217;s Sling is meant to intercept medium-range missiles, such as those possessed by Hezbollah in Lebanon.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wsw__embed\">\n<figure class=\"media-image js-media-expand\">\n<div class=\"img-wrap\">\n<div class=\"thumb\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"FILE - This Monday, Dec. 21, 2015 file photograph provided by the Israeli Ministry of Defense shows a launch of David's Sling missile defense system.\" src=\"https:\/\/gdb.voanews.com\/550A2E6B-F7FA-4F07-A345-AC5051847D73_w250_r1_s.jpg\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"ico ico-fullscreen ico--media-expand ico--rounded\"\/>\n<\/div><figcaption>\n<span class=\"caption\">FILE &#8211; This Monday, Dec. 21, 2015 file photograph provided by the Israeli Ministry of Defense shows a launch of David&#8217;s Sling missile defense system.<\/span><br \/>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Patriot: <\/strong>This American-made system is the oldest member of Israel&#8217;s missile-defense system \u2014 used during the First Gulf War in 1991 to intercept Scud missiles fired by Iraq&#8217;s leader at the time, Saddam Hussein. The Patriot is now used to shoot down aircraft, including drones.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Iron Dome: <\/strong>This system, developed by Israel with U.S. backing, specializes in shooting down short-range rockets. It has intercepted thousands of rockets since it was activated early last decade \u2014 including thousands of interceptions during the current war against Hamas and Hezbollah. Israel says it has a success rate of over 90%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Iron Beam: <\/strong>Israel is developing a new system to intercept incoming threats with laser technology. Israel has said this system will be a game changer because it is much cheaper to operate than existing systems. However, it is not yet operational.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
