The short-range Israeli project passed final testing and will be deployed near the borders of the country in November, according to the Israeli Ministry of Defense.

"I do not want to create the illusion that the system we are deploying for the first time, provide a complete or comprehensive response," he told his cabinet in Jerusalem Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "The real answer to the threat of missiles is the combination of offensive and defensive deterrent measures, and with a stand of the Government and the public.
" Netanyahu spoke shortly after, in an air strike on Gaza, Israel killed two members of Islamic Jihad, a Palestinian guerrilla group that is behind much of the militant rocket attacks into Israel. Hamas, the Islamic movement that controls Gaza and whose forces are also part of the fight, said the fire from the coastal enclave would cease if Israel stops attacking too.

The project was initiated following the 2006 conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon and the war against Hamas Gaza Strip 18 months ago.
