I’m curious how the name Arrow came from Masada? Is the Hebrew for the word Arrow similar to it? I worked on the Arrow 1 from 1988-1990. Was there for the first test launch. Visited Masada a couple of times.
There used to be bumper stickers in Israel that said Masada Never Again with an arrow like you would shoot from a bow on it.
My wife was the US Army Arrow Field Office Manager in Tel Aviv from 2005-2006. I’m very familar with the program, the conferences quarterly back and forth to the States, etc. Had many a discussion with IDF officers who told me how they would eventually deal with Hamas/Gaza. They said they would deal with it by a grid square system, one section at a time, above and below the ground. I had a more lineral impression but this is essentially what they have engaged in. It won’t stop until Hamas is stopped.
