The ministry said Tuesday that the missile, named Hetz (arrow) was fired from an aircraft and successfully intercepted and destroyed another missile which was similar to the Soviet-made Scud missiles that have been widely used in the region, notably by the ousted Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites).


The statement said the test, the 11th of the Hetz system to date, involved hitting an incoming missile at high altitude.


The Hetz programme was launched in 1988 as part of a US programme to develop an anti-missile defence system, nicknamed "Star Wars" after the film of that name.
