I believe the report is wrong. During the first Gulf War they were shooting down some of the Scuds from Iraq with Patriot missiles. A missile fired from Iran would be arriving in Israel at almost the exact same trajectory and speed.

The Patriots have been improved since the first Gulf War and the Israelis have not been sitting on their hands. I believe they developed their own anti-missile system after the first Gulf War called Arrow. I have read reports that it is a very capable system, but who knows for sure until you see it work.

Thanks, and if that's the case, I'm thrilled the report was wrong. The Fox reporter specifially said Patriot missiles were outdated to successfully intercept the current class of missiles. I guess the reporter had a little touch of 'Geraldo'itis.
