Israeli authority for development of weapons and military technology Rafael has successfully completed a series of test in the short-range missile defense system it is currently developing as part of the project code-named "Iron Dome."

Security sources said on Sunday that the tests, which were carried out at a test ground in southern Israel, were successful.

I guess that this is just more "aggression" from Israel. How dare they attack those peaceful missiles!

Its the bulldozing of family homes of the innocent ... Or the machine-gunning of kids throwing rocks ...

Not everybody who has two legs and two arms is guilty of shooting missiles at Israel ...

I am pro defense in nearly ALL aspects, unless that 'defense' includes the intentional destruction of innocent human life, then I tend to disagree ... Rarely does offense actually equal 'defense' ...

I will note that the mere possibility that someone 'might' attack is insufficient grounds for 'defensive' attack .... I will also note that the 'tit for tat' that passes as justification in that part of the world has NEVER solved the problems faced by families, and that revenge, however 'sweet', is NOT moral .... Taking an eye for an eye are two separate amoral acts .... It's NOT 'justice' by any measure ...

That being said; Congratulations to Israel for a step in the right direction ...
