Israel launches 'most advanced of its kind' radar spy satellite.

Israel launched the newest addition to its Ofek series of spy satellites early Wednesday (March 29), according to an overnight press release from the Israel Ministry of Defense (IMoD). 

That release identifies "a test site in central Israel" as the launch site for the satellite, which likely refers to Palmachim Airbase, about 9 miles (15 kilometers) south of Tel Aviv.

Israel Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, who attended the launch, praised Israel's standing among space-faring nations.
