Homa* is where the heart is

Recent modifications made to the Arrow enable Israel's ballistic missile defense system to successfully intercept and destroy any ballistic missile in the Middle East, including nuclear-capable missiles under development by Iran, Arieh Herzog, the head of the Defense Ministry's Homa Missile Defense Agency, has told The Jerusalem Post.

"Our Arrow operational system can without a doubt deal with all of the operational threats in the Middle East, particularly in Iran and Syria," he declared.

I look forward to the pleasure of listening to the eloquence with which that august body of global good, our esteemed United Nations, will denounce and decry this latest Israeli weapon of terrorism, and demand, in the name of human rights, the obliteration of the aforementioned illegal state.

*Homa - Hebrew for "Fortress Wall" - is a branch of the Israeli Defense Ministry's Research and Development Directorate.
