Israel on Wednesday tested a rocket-propulsion system from a military base in the center of the Zionist entity, a defense ministry official said.

"This test firing of the rocket-propulsion system had been planned by the defense establishment a long time ago and was carried out as scheduled," the official told AFP on condition of anonymity.

Public radio reported the test was carried out at the Palmachim military base south of Tel Aviv.

Citing foreign military experts, the radio said the system is capable of firing ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads.
