Israel Tracks Every Missile Fired in the Syrian Civil War
(Reuters) Dan Williams - Israel tracks every heavy missile fired in the Syrian civil war, keen to study Damascus' combat doctrines and deployments and ready to fend off an attack on its turf, Col. Zvika Haimovich of Israel's air defense corps said Thursday. "Syria's [missile] batteries are in a high state of operability, ready to fire at short notice. All it would take is a few degrees' change in the flight path to endanger us," he said. Syrian opposition activists say Assad's army has fired dozens of Scud-type missiles at rebel-held areas in the last six months.
