MISSILE DEFENSE
Israel gets ready to unveil David's Sling by Staff Writers Tel Aviv, Israel (UPI) Oct 31, 2011
The Israeli air force is preparing to deploy a new air-defense system with the biblical name of David's Sling, designed to intercept medium-range missiles, while the Iron Dome system deployed earlier battles Palestinian rockets. A new unit has been formed to man the first David's Sling battery that will be based in central Israel sometime in 2012. David's Sling, also known as Magic Wand, has been jointly developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and U.S. defense contractor Raytheon to counter missiles and rockets with ranges of 25-185 miles.

Something really bad is about to happen?
Yeah, you bet - the people of Israel are seeing another throwaway to a military industry. How much did that "iron dome" idea cost... and it doesn't work?
Israel's military junta will try to formulate another war to keep its people cowed and intimidated. I don't think it will work this time.

The fact that they named that thing "David's Sling" is a threat to the muslim community.
...a threat to Muslims on what basis, exactly? Please tell me you're not suggesting that Goliath was a Palestinean.
Goliath was a giant who had been mocking Israel and her God...
That giant was one of the Rephaim, who lived in Gath. He wasn't Muslim. He isn't one of the ancestors of the Palestineans, he has no association whatsoever with Islam.
What it suggests to me is that Israel is well aware that she is a tiny state surrounded by much larger nations... literally a very small david faced with a very large existential threat. The nations around her have proven repeatedly that they are committed to her annihilation.
...seems like an appropriate name to me.
