Scud D ballistic missileSyria has completed a successful test of its Scud D ballistic missile.

Israeli intelligence sources said Damascus fired the Scud D in late January in northeastern Syria. The sources said the missile flew for several hundred kilometers and landed near an apparent target.

"From all indications, this was a successful test," an intelligence source said.

The sources said the Scud D launch was detected by the Green Pine radar system around Jan. 28. The Green Pine, with a reported range of more than 500 kilometers, was part of the Arrow-2 missile defense system.
