The Defense Ministry indicated that the mid-range missile defense system, which is capable of intercepting incoming projectiles from over 300 kilometers (180 miles) away, should become operational in two months.
The series of tests was carried out under the auspices of the Defense Ministry’s research and development branch in conjunction with the US Missile Defense Agency and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems.
The system’s MMR radar discovered and tracked an incoming missile and submitted the data to the battery’s central nerve center, whereupon the flight-path was mapped and an interception point calculated. The system then launched an anti-ballistic missile that intercepted the target, destroying the approaching rocket as planned.

'..what are you waiting for BIBI?.."
Well, let's see.. They were ready to do just that last summer, and Obammie got wind of it-- he said if they did, we would SHOOT THEM DOWN.
The muslim-in-chief stopped them.
Knowing him, there's probably a standing threat.
