Report based on images from Israeli satellite seem to reveal Scud missile factory identical to one seen in Iran An Israeli television report said on Tuesday that Iran is building a facility in northwest Syria to manufacture long-range rockets, and showed satellite images it said were of the site under construction.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned last week that Iran was strengthening its foothold in its ally Syria as Islamic State fighters were being displaced, and said Israel was watching developments and would act against any threat.
"Our policy is clear: We vehemently oppose the military buildup by Iran and its proxies, primarily Hezbollah, in Syria and we will do whatever it takes to protect Israel's security," he said in a speech.
The Channel 2 television news report showed images it said were taken by an Israeli satellite showing a site in northwest Syria near the Mediterranean coastal town of Baniyas, saying some of the construction indicated explosives would be stored there.
The images from the Eros B satellite showcase the site's ability to store underground missiles, the reports said.
It compared images of buildings it said were of a rocket factory near Tehran to structures at the Syrian site, and said there was a strong resemblance between them.
Netanyahu has been harshly critical of a 2015 deal that six world powers including the United States under then-president Barack Obama struck with Iran to curb its nuclear program in return for an end to multilateral sanctions.

I thought Iran was going to rebuild infrastructure and schools with all the money we sent back? What gives?
Take it out.
Probably have women and children building missle site.
...global Whack-A-Mole?
Paid for by US taxpayers, through Imam Hussein Obama
and his agents from Lerner to Kerry.
Message to the IAF: Get those F15Is gassed up and ready to go. We’ve got another mission to accomplish.
...in northwest Syria...
Odd in that Iran is east of Syria. Also isn’t there a Russian S-400 SAM base built there recently. Could be a complication for the Israelis.
Assad is such a nice guy
Take it out.... Naw.... not now ... wait til they move in all the expensive machinery
Who cares if he is nice or not.
It’s THEIR COUNTRY.
If they want Assad gone, then they can do it themselves.
We should not care whether someone is ‘nice’ or not.
It’s totally irrelevant.
Iran does not build a missile factory in Syria without Russian approval and likely, active support.
Of course we should take it out.
The volume of Russia’s protest should speak for itself.
Totally unexpected.
Just like it was a complication in taking out the reactor that the mullahs and Norks were building along the Euphrates? The one that they had no idea of what was about to happen, until after it did?
MOAB II
Then there was that Sep 6 2007 little take-out, man what a mission.
Not our problem. Israel’s problem. Yes. But not our problem.
That’s the one. They never even got a chance to say OH SHIITE! The lights went out and all of a sudden the shadows came a callin’.

Once construction is complete, and resources expended, is the time to destroy it.
In before the nuke ‘em from orbit ping !
