I don’t believe they have remotely-near 600 missiles that can reach Israel. The Shahab-1 and -2 cannot reach Israel, and there are probably about 15 Shahab-3s built so far (1300-1500 km range).

"I don’t believe"

Yeah, that sounds like mother of all war baloney to me.

That's not to say that the current scum in charge shouldn't be taken out.

I've read that Iran has been installing missile launchers in Syria. If Iran launches 600 missiles at Israel in, say, 24 hours, I think Israel is going to absolutely prove to the world that they have nuclear weapons (Israel has over a hundred nuclear warheads - but "officially", they don't have any) :-)

The problem, though, is what happens next. The whole Middle East would spin out of control, probably.

It could be a hot summer. More so in some places than others. As in millions of degrees.

It's been almost 62 years since nuclear devices were used in combat. It is absolutely inconceivable that we'll make it to a 100.

They can reach if the Iranians locate the missiles in Syria.

Maybe not all the way from Iran, but certainly from Lebanon or Syria.

Funny thing is, given the size of Israel, I can't imagine 600 targets!

North Korea is delivering to Iran.

Good point, but a strict interpretation of the article ... Iran has marked 600 targets for its long-range missiles inside Israel, the Qatari newspaper Al Watan reported on Sunday. ... looks like they have marked the 600 targets. It doesn't say that there are 600 missiles ready to go.
