Israel uses missile defense system on border to intercept rockets

Israel activated a joint U.S.-Israeli missile interceptor for the first time on Monday in response to rockets from the fighting in neighboring Syria that were believed to be headed for Israeli territory. The system, dubbed David's Sling, is meant to counter the type of medium-range missiles that Iran-backed Lebanese Hezbollah militants have and rounded out Israel's multi-layer aerial defense system when it became operational in 2017.
