I am pretty damn curious to see the reports on interception rates on those missiles.

SM-3 is claimed to have a ballistic missile interception rate of 80% per missile you fire.
Currently it is at 100% for real combat, but thats a factor of small sample size.

There is a good chance it is the SM-3s. The US posted two separate ships for that task and fired several missiles. for intercepts.
The US has already shot down exo-atmospheric targets before so its not a huge surprise.

US Navy fired SM3 Missiles that reportedly intercepted Iranian fired ballistic missiles.
Basically two US ships fired several missiles to intercept ballistic missiles fired at Israel. These are supposedly the first time these missiles have been used in combat.
