Israeli Missile Tests May Deter Iran
(Ynet News-Ha'aretz) Alex Fishman - On Dec. 6, Israel's Defense Ministry announced a test launch of a "rocket engine propulsion system." The deterrence factor of such rocket tests is unquestionable. In recent months, there have been growing concerns in Israel that Iran would conduct missiles strikes on Israeli targets in response to attacks on its own infrastructure in Syria and Iraq. Israel's experimental rocket launches serve to remind Iran that Israel has the capability to respond to any Iranian attacks with a retaliation strike on Iranian soil. The entire world assumes that Israel has the capability to manufacture long-range rockets since it launched its first reconnaissance satellite, Ofek-1, in 1988.
