JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israel’s multi-tier air defense missile system David’s Sling was deployed in operations for the first time during Wednesday’s cross-border fighting with Gaza militants, two Israeli military sources said.
David’s Sling, designed to shoot down rockets fired from 100 to 200 kilometers away, is part of Israel’s shield that already includes short-range Iron Dome and long-range Arrow-2 and Arrow-3 missiles.
