Israel carries out Arrow missile interceptor test - official


    JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel carried out a successful test of its upgraded Arrow missile interceptor on Monday, an Israeli official said.

    The U.S.-backed Arrow missile is designed to shoot down incoming ballistic missiles at altitudes high enough to allow for any non-conventional warheads to disintegrate safely.
