#2 defense drills on Sunday to prepare for any hostile air strikes after Saturday's reports that the United States would activate an anti-missile radar system in Israel by mid-December.

I'm missing something here.

#3 I'm surprised, g(r)omgoru.

It's a similar mentality to the Russians'.

If "they" have an anti-missile radar system in place, it's actually a shield for protecting "their" country against your (Russian/Iranian) missile systems, whilst permitting "them" to conduct an offence against you (Russia/Iran).

Because that is what you (Russia/Iran) would do to "them" if you had an anti-missile system in-place.

#4 The establishment of a sound ADA/missle defense is a precursor to offensive action. The signature of the missle/aricraft defense installation has undoubtedly alerted the Iranians to the likely IAF strike plans. I think the middle to late January is a good time to bunker in.....
