Report: Syria has missile batteries aimed at Tel Aviv
2013-05-19
'The Sunday Times' reports reconnaissance satellites reveal preparations made by the Syrian army to deploy surface-to-surface Tishreen missiles ready to fire at Israel should J'lem conduct another airstrike on the Assad regime.

The paper reports reconnaissance satellites has revealed preparations made by the Syrian army to deploy the missiles, that can each carry half a ton payload.

The paper quotes Israeli missile export Uzi Rubin as saying Syria has a lot of Tishreen missiles, and that should they fire them at Israel, they could potentially paralyze all commercial flights coming in and out of the country.

The report comes amidst a great deal of uncertainty surrounding the Middle East and Syria in particular after Israel allegedly carried out two airstrikes on several targets in Syria a couple of weeks ago.

* BHARAT RAKSHAK > ISRAEL: WE UNDERESTIMATED ASSAD'S STRENGTH, i.e. its willingness to fight for existential survival given the level + depth of penetration of Jihadi + Foreign MilTerr elements into Syria.

* SAME > WIKILEAKS: SAUDI ARABIA FEARS SHIA-LED IRAN, IRAQ, + PAKISTAN TRIPARTITE ALLIANCE.
