The Defense Ministry has signed a deal with Israel Aerospace Industries to expand production of Arrow 3 interceptor missiles. The order comes in response to increased ballistic missile attacks on Israel by the Iran-backed Houthis. The Arrow 3 is designed to take out ballistic missiles outside of the atmosphere and has been used against Houthi attacks and Iran's direct attacks on Israel. Under the deal, IAI will provide the military with a significant amount of Arrow 3 interceptors.
