They are deployed , not sure if they have been used much if at all, a lot of these rockets are fairly small, the odds of nailing them is pretty low. something this size, would be a lot easier to strike.

Israel's partnership with the U.S. resulted in, among other things, the Arrow-2 missile system. Even faster than the Patriot, IIRC. Not yet combat-tested (but real soon, I'd wager).

It's shortcoming is the small number of launch installations (well, that Israel has disclosed...)
