Israel's military intercepted a long-range missile fired from Gaza in the northern part of the country on Friday.
Israel has a multitiered aerial defense system that includes the Iron Dome, David's Sling, and Arrow 3, which are utilized primarily based on the type of an incoming missile or rocket. The IDF mostly utilizes the Iron Dome to intercept rockets from Gaza, and Israel boasts that it has a success rate of intercepting incoming fire above 90%, making the use of David's Sling to intercept the rocket on Friday significant.
The interception comes as Israel is likely on the verge of a ground incursion into Gaza following the worst terrorist attack in Israeli history last weekend. Hamas and other terrorist organizations launched an unprecedented attack in which more than a thousand terrorists came into Israel and began murdering people, many of whom were civilians. The death toll in the attacks exceeds 1,300.
