Israel on the move

... and not a moment too soon.

Israeli navy in Suez Canal prepares for potential attack on Iran

Two Israeli missile class warships have sailed through the Suez Canal ten days after a submarine capable of launching a nuclear missile strike, in preparation for a possible attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Pacific test will determine Arrow's ability to intercept Iranian missiles close to launch

The Israeli anti-missile Arrow system will face the first real test of its ability to knock out an Iranian Shehab-3 or Sejil II ballistic missile at the outset of its flight toward Israel.

The test will take place off central California's Pacific coast from a point between Point Mugu and Santa Barbara north-west of Los Angeles.

It will test the Arrow in uninterrupted flight against a target in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The closest land to the site is Japan.
