Israel: Iran listening in on IDF communications from Syria
 Iran has set up sophisticated listening stations in Syria in recent months to intercept Israeli military communications, Israeli security officials said Tuesday. The officials offered no details on how many stations had been set up.Military officials said the listening stations received information through powerful antennas able to pick up communications from a distance of hundreds of kilometers. The antennas are receivers and do not transmit signals, so they cannot be blocked. The distance between Jerusalem and Syria's capital, Damascus, is 220 kilometers (135 miles). Israel is taking new precautions because of the listening stations, the officials said. Posted by: Fred 2008-04-03 |
