Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Tuesday congratulated the defense establishment on the morning's successful test of the Arrow missile.

"I would like to congratulate the defense establishment on the successful test. While we are for peace, we will know how to defend ourselves," said Netanyahu.

The Prime Minister was speaking at a pre-Passover chametz-selling ceremony also attended by Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz, Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi Yonah Metzger and Sephardi Chief Rabbi Shlomo Amar.

He also spoke with Defense Minister Ehud Barak about the results of the test.

Israel successfully tested its Arrow anti-missile defense system today. This development prepares Israel from strategic threats from Iran. It is a good prelude to the Passover holiday.

These Israelis understand, and better yet, they haven’t forgotten...like so many Americans have.

I believe they have four and are awaiting 3 more to be delivered..... It is my understanding they are NOT nuclear powered...but can launch nuclear missles....

Problem is they must travel around the Africa to avoid inspection or detection....should they wish to visit their buddies in Iran....
