Israeli Attack on Iran Date Moves Closer

Israel is ramping up it's dream of attacking Iran. This, in direct confrontation to US policy of attempting to bring peace to the region. Today's report is yet another example of Israels insanity and continuation of it's perpetual war on it's neighbours. If you are wondering why Israel is now becoming so focused on attacking Iran, I wrote about this last week, where I explain why Israel must attack Iran before June 2009. If you have not read my post you can read it here.Today's report below:

As the Israeli-predicted date for war on Iran draws closer, a report says Israeli's missile operators have begun weekly drills to hone their skills.

Israeli Air Force (IAF) reservists who operate the ballistic missile destroyer, the Arrow, and the surface-to-air missile, Patriot, have been called up by the Defense Ministry to spend one day a week on duty to prepare for a possible conflict with Iran.

The drills carried out by the missile operators are to improve their skills in countering dozens of long-range Iranian Shahab missiles expected to be fired at Israel in the event of a war on Iran.

"We are working hard to be ready for the Iranian threat," a top IAF officer was quoted by the Jerusalem Post. "We are preparing for barrages, split warheads and other surprises and therefore we need to retain a high operational level by everyone, including reservists."

While such drills have been carried out since last year those involved in them were "only pilots". The current duty, however, includes soldiers from the Air Defense Division who are on study leave.

"They come once a week to simulate different scenarios," the IAF officer explained.
