The Defense Ministry announced that a rocket propulsion system was tested early Friday from the Palmahim Air Base. Flights from Ben-Gurion international airport were briefly rerouted. The test was described as part of a regular series. According to foreign sources, Israel has been testing propellants for launching ballistic missiles with ranges of thousands of kilometers that are capable of carrying nuclear warheads.
