“How Israel shot down a ballistic missile in space for the first time”

“Israel this week used its Arrow missile-defence system to shoot down a
ballistic missile outside of Earth’s atmosphere, in what is believed to
be the first combat ever to take place in space.”

“The ballistic missile was launched from Yemen by the Iran-backed
Houthis, and flew almost 1,000 miles over the Arabian peninsula on the
way to its target, the Israeli port city of Eilat.”

“While the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) has released few details about
the interception, the Air Force is known to operate several batteries of
the Arrow 2 system, which uses a hypersonic interceptor to take out
incoming missiles in space.”

First, who knew that Yemen had joined the ICBM Club ?

Second, who is not in the ICBM Club now ? Obviously the ICBM Club is
much larger than I thought it was.

Third, we will see many firsts in the near future. And seconds. Like
maybe the second country to use a nuclear bomb or two on another country.
