Try ten seconds of research before you make yourself look silly - Israel has been launching their own spy satellites for 22 years now.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ofek
Ofeq, also spelled Offek or Ofek (Hebrew: lit. Horizon) is the designation of a series of Israeli reconnaissance satellites first launched in 1988. All Ofeq satellites have been carried on top of Shavit rockets from Palmachim Airbase in Israel, on the Mediterranean coast. The Low Earth Orbit satellites complete one earth orbit every 90 minutes. The satellite launches made Israel only the eighth nation to gain an indigenous launch capability. Both the satellites and the launchers were designed and manufactured by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) with Elbit Systems’ El-Op division supplying the optical payload.
