Shield Israel OKs Short-Range Missle Defense Shield

Quote:
The Israeli security cabinet on Sunday gave the green light for the manufacture of a defence system capable of intercepting short-range rockets such as those fired by Gaza militants, army radio said.

The cabinet allocated 811 million shekels (207 million dollars, 144 million euros) towards the development and manufacture of the missile defence system, it said.
The system -- dubbed "The Iron Dome" -- will be developed by the Israeli arms firm Rafael and is expected to be operational within two years. The defence ministry first ordered its development in February.

In addition to being able to intercept the home-made rockets fired from the Gaza Strip by Palestinian militant groups, it will also be able to shoot down Katyusha-type short-range rockets of the kind fired by Lebanon's Hezbollah militia during last year's 34-day war with Israel.

WiseOne's Comments, I think that is a VERY prudent idea for Israel to do...

They already have cluster bombs...and have used them....

[LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Political Forum Link.

The UN's humanitarian chief has accused Israel of "completely immoral" use of cluster bombs in Lebanon. UN clearance experts had so far found 100,000 unexploded cluster bomblets at 359 separate sites, Jan Egeland said.
Israel has repeated its previous insistence that munitions it uses in conflict comply with international law.

They need proliferation treaties in that area....don't these use depleted Uranium?

Hm, I am not sure whether they use depleted Uranium or not. Would like to find out though. What amazes me if the VAST lands the Arabs have...and Israel has barely a little snippet of nothing hardly, yet they want their lands that have been theirs for THOUSANDS of years. If I were Israel, I would get every kind of weapon I could to protect the State...besides gas/biological that is. I think it is almost too late for Israel to attack Iran now as Russia is pumping very sophisticated weapons to the Iranian nutjobs now. What a freaking mess!

The middle east region can go to hell. I am sick and tired of hearing them. Let them blow eachother up. America should stay home and take care of one's self.
