This is the moment an Iranian ballistic missile is blown up in space above Israel.
Iran launched a fresh barrage of missiles at Israel late on Sunday night as the two countries continue to trade blows.
Damage was caused at multiple locations in central Israel from debris and fragments of drones but no injuries were reported.
Footage shows an Israeli defence system, said to be an Arrow 3 exoatmospheric anti-ballistic missile, intercepting an Iranian missile in space.
Following the interception, a large light blue and purple glow lights up and lingers in the night sky.
The Arrow 3 system is designed to operate outside the earth’s atmosphere, stopping threats while they are in space.
The hypersonic anti-ballistic missile has been used to tackle intercontinental ballistic missiles and can be used to hit enemy satellites.
Israel has already targeted the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Aerospace Force Headquarters for launching satellites.

The headquarters had been used by the IRGC to bolster its aerospace efforts, including the 2022 launch of the Khayyam satellite.
Despite Israel’s highly advanced defence technologies, at least 180 people were wounded in two Iranian strikes on two southern Israeli towns near to a nuclear facility.
Israel’s health ministry said 116 people were injured in Arad and another 64 in Dimona, following ballistic missile strikes on the towns on Saturday evening.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the site of the impact in Arad, and said it was a ‘miracle’ that no one was killed.
He also claimed Iran’s missiles have ‘the capacity to reach deep into Europe’ and the regime is ‘putting everyone in their sights.’
The Israeli Air Force has said Iran has fired 400 missiles at Israel since the war began, with 92 per cent succesully intercepted.
