Iran has successfully tested a Shihab-3 missile, which has a range that can reach Israel, the Tel Aviv-based Haaretz reported in headline story on Friday. The launch last week was the most successful so far of the seven or eight tests of the missile over the last five years, the report added.  

 

The newspaper said the "Iranian threat" will be one of the subjects under discussion when Israel's Chief of Staff Moshe Ya'alon visits the Pentagon and U.S. armed forces bases next week.  

 

It added that more data is now being collected and collated in the West about the missile test and about the progress being made in the Iranian missile program. (Albawaba.com)
