Israeli air force shoots down drone aircraft
2012-10-06
The Israeli air force shot down a drone after it crossed into southern Israel on Saturday, the military said, but it remained unclear where the aircraft had come from.

The drone was first spotted above the Mediterranean Sea in the area of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip to the west of Israel, said military spokeswoman Avital Leibovich. Once it crossed into Israeli air space, it was escorted by air force jets.

At about 10 a.m. (0700 GMT), after it traveled east some 35 miles across Israel's southern Negev desert, the drone was shot down above a forest in an unpopulated area near the border with the occupied West Bank, she said.

"We are considering this interception successful," Leibovich said. Soldiers were searching the area where the drone was downed to locate and identify the drone, the military said.

#4  OOOOPPPPSSS, forgot DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > KISSINGER, [sixteen US Agencies] INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY ENDORSE "WORLD WIDOUT ISRAEL", i.e. Israel to no longer exist in roughly ten more years | [NY Post] HENRY KISSINGER PREDICTS IN TEN YEARS, THERE WILL BE NO MORE ISRAEL.

- America no longer has the resources or political, domestic will to keep propping up Israel forever-n-ever.
- US Agencies + mainstream America are beginning to realize that Israel's enemies need not be US enemies.
- US INTEL believes Israel cannot long withstand agz the Palestinian Spring ["Gaza Spring"], the regional + worldwide "Islamic Awakening", + rise of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

By INVERSE LOGIC, US INTEL = AS RADICAL ISLAM OR ISLAM RISES, ISRAEL CANNOT SURVIVE THE CORRESPONDING DECLINE OF ITS MAJOR ALLIES IN THE HISTORICALLY WORLD-DOMINANT JUDEOCHRISTIAN US-WEST.

IOW, US INTEL IS [indirectly] FORECASTING THE DECLINE OF ITS OWN GOVT + CAMP, by which Israel will reap the negative or detrimental consequences.
