""From what I saw, this is an old version of the Shahab-3, and contrary to their claims, it is not capable of reaching 2,000 kilometers, only 1,300 kilometers," he said on Wednesday."
That should make the people of Tel Aviv rejoice.
1,300 kilometers is over 800 miles, which puts Gush Dan well within the range of the "several hundred Shahab-3 missiles" this "expert" is so dismissive of.
Israel also has to consider the extent to which Iran is holding back - not revealing its more advanced Shahab-4 missiles.
And, of course, the oil refinery complexes at Ashdod and Haifa are, in any event, well within the range of Hezbollah`s shorter-range Raad rockets in Southern Lebanon. |
