Israel Begins Major Drill, Preparing For Regional War
Press TV ^ | May 31, 2009

Posted on 05/31/2009 7:06:30 AM PDT by Fennie

Israel has launched its largest-ever military exercise to test its capabilities against potential missile attacks, bombings and riots.

Over the past few months, Israel has been busy making plans for fresh confrontation in the Middle East. The drill is widely believed to be in line with the regime's preparation for a possible attack on Iran's nuclear facilities which they admit can ignite an all-out war in the region.

The five-day exercise which was launched on Sunday will simulate simultaneous rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip and Lebanon and missile attacks from Iran and Syria.

"We will be exercising the doomsday scenario of simultaneous strikes against Israel on all fronts and by different means," Israel's defense ministry spokesman Shlomo Dror told AFP last week.

Exercise Turning Point 3 will also include simulating chemical and biological strikes on populated centers and a wave of attacks by Palestinians.

And this time they’ve got a warrior leading them, not some clueless politician. This is survival for Israel, pure and simple.

“Let’s all remember presstv.ir is State Controlled Iran Media.”

Right. I love this part: “in line with the regime’s preparation for a possible attack...”

You wanna talk about ‘regimes?’

Alfie has worn numerous masks over the years, all in the spirit of satire. I figure he won’t mind. :-)

I can't help but wonder how much classified info about Israel's self defense has already been leaked to his Arab brethren by Obama The Destroyer.

Yep, a few “wave attacks” by the Paliscum would go a long way
towards cleaning up their filth in the streets. Let’s hope
they start with massive waves of the murderous muzzys.
