The one virtue of the Scud-D is that it is so primitive that it is virtually GI proof. They are going to fire up unless you blow a hole in one.

These may have been older model Scuds, but they have enough range to hit Israel's major population centers. These are not little home made rockets that you can ignore. These are guided ballistic missiles that can put a ton of TNT or chemical weapons anyplace within 300km of the target. And unlike Saddam's Scud-B missiles that scatted over a couple of kilometers the Scud-d is supposed to be accurate to within 50 meters. Not a JDAM but with a ton of TNT that is accurate enough for Hamas.

Look what Ynet is reporting about the Mass security drill taking place. It was a surprise and police forces are deploying across the country. Probably just an exercise but it could be to get police and military in place to protect after an attack. It is just odd that they didn’t announce it and that it is nation wide. One eye witness said he has never seen anything like it.

1. terror warning for israelis to come home Tuesday
2. Scud missiles delivered to Hezbollah from Syria
3. Lots of talk today that Israel may attack Syria and Lebanon
4 Surprise nation wide exercise deplying police forces everywhere and bringing the nation to a halt.
5.Bibi cancels trip to attend nuke summit

May turn out to be nothing but seems like a lot of interesting things going on right now.
