If you follow some of the Wiki links, it seems the Israelis intercepted an SA-5 missile with an Arrow AA missile back in March.

The Arrow isn’t an air-to-air missile, it’s a dedicated ABM/anti-missile missile. Not terribly surprising that it can take out the big old SA-5. The SA-5 is a flying telephone pole with delta wings.
