India successfully tests Anti-Satellite missile system (ASAT) – Israel has the capability?
Yes it has Anti-Satellite Missile (ASAT) capability – here is how

How can Israel destroy those satellites?
India successfully tests its anti-satellite missile system (ASAT), by destroying an out of service Indian satellite. The Operation, called “Mission Shatki”, intercepted an of service satellite, Leo, which was hovering 300 KM above the surface. So now India Joins the elite club of Russia, US and China with anti-satellite capabilities – ASAT. Does Israel have the capability as India? And does it need it at all? And what about the moral question of “leaving space weapons-free”.
Yes, Israel has the capability to destroy satellites. It can immediately adapt its arrow 3 missile system to ASAT satellite interception. Ex atmospheric missiles, and their radar systems, are by nature multi-role. According to Ilan Ramati, Former Arrow program director, the changes needed to be made in the Arrow 3 are adding something called a “Divert Motor” in its KV (Kill Vehicle) interceptor. It means the KV can change direction immediately once it enters space, positioning itself towards the satellite before it comes into line of sight
Theoretically, it’s easier for the Arrow 3 to do an anti-satellite interception than ballistic interception. The reason? Satellites don’t travel as fast so its NOT like “hitting a bullet with a bullet”. Also, the Arrows radar – Green pine which track ballistic missiles can also track “Objects in Space”, according to the Former arrow director.

Explanation on how the Arrow interceptor works
Theoretically, it’s easier for the Arrow 3 to do an anti-satellite interception than ballistic interception. The reason? Satellites don’t travel as fast so its NOT like “hitting a bullet with a bullet”. Also, the Arrows radar – Green pine which track ballistic missiles can also track “Objects in Space”, according to the Former arrow director.

the Green Pine Arrow 3 Missile Radar – which, in addition to tracking ballistic missiles, can tracks “Objects in Space” according to former IAI former head of Arrow program
What are Israel’s satellite space threats?
At present Iran, Egypt and Turkey. Iran, The biggest nation-enemy of Israel at present, probably has the ability to make small and simple Satellites. Although no doubt they are working on military satellites as well. Egypt, although not officially an enemy of Israel, has scientific satellites. Their latest satellite launched, called Egyptsat1, is suppose to monitor changes in the Nile river. Although they can also turn it into a military satellite immediately. Its true Egypt is at peace with Israel, but you never what will happen with this country. Coups are a part of its nature.

Turkey, also not an official Enemy of Israel, but Turkey under Erdogan is a dangerous country. He would cut relations and declare war on Israel tomorrow if he could so Israel needs to watch him. Turkey has an ambitious arms industry and has 2 operational military satellites. Both are made by Turkish Aerospace Industries, Göktürk 1, and Göktürk 2 (with Göktürk 3 planned for 2019). In addition, it has 3 communications satellites and a slew of additional other satellites.
Additionally, there is always a satellite threat from countries like North Korea or Pakistan. If they had satellites, they would provide Israel’s enemies with their spying capabilities. And even Turkey probably would, if it would not want to confront Israel directly.

There is no moral problem with anti-satellite missiles
And regarding the moral arguments against ASAT – Israel need not hesitate! As long as satellites are used for military purposes, there is no moral reason for it not to have the satellite interception capability. At present, there is nobody governing international relations on earth – so how can there be in Space? Israel should do what it needs for its protection. All these Utopian fantasies of global peace and “leave space alone” are for somebody else, possibly Sweden. And besides, space is “big enough” for everyone. If the perimeter above earth is militarized, there is always the more open SPACE, literally, a few kilometres up
