Israel's U.S.-backed Arrow-3 ballistic
missile shield has passed a series of live interception tests over Alaska, Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday, casting the achievement as a warning to Iran.
Jointly manufactured by U.S. firm
Boeing Co, Arrow-3 is billed as capable of
shooting down incoming missiles in space, an altitude that would destroy any non-conventional warheads safely.
It passed its first full interception test over the Mediterranean Sea in 2015 and was deployed in Israel in 2017.
