Eye witnesses claim 'unusual' movement of Israeli missiles

Eye witnesses claim 'unusual' movement of Israeli missiles

JERUSALEM — Multiple eyewitnesses reported seeing Israeli military trucks in recent days transport and station large missiles at the periphery of Jerusalem and in locations inside the West Bank.

The descriptions of the projectiles are consistent with the Jewish state’s mid-to-long range Jericho ballistic missiles.

The PA security member, speaking on condition of anonymity, speculated the missiles were related to a possible Israeli offensive against Iran. He commented that such missiles were offensive in nature, and usually not meant to serve as defensive posture.

Well, so maybe this is it, and Israel is going to attack Iranian nuclear facilities from afar. One question is, are they going to tip them with tactical nukes, or are they going to be conventional warheads?

And what about the supposed air sortees? I don't know but perhaps they are setting these as a second line of firing if needed. In this case they would do pinpoint attacks from the air first, and if Iran responds too violently, then they would launch the Jerichos. With nukes on board.

It is estimated that the Jericho III entered service in 2008. The Jericho III is believed to have a three-stage solid propellant and a payload of 1,000 to 1,300 kg. It is possible for the missile to be equipped with a single 750 kg nuclear warhead or two or three low yield MIRV warheads. It has an estimated launch weight of 30,000 kg and a length of 15.5 m with a width of 1.56 m. It may be similar to an upgraded and re-designed Shavit space launch vehicle, produced by Israel Aerospace Industries. It probably has longer first and second-stage motors. It is estimated that it has a range of 4,800 to 11,500 km [7] (2,982 to 7,180 miles), and probably significantly greater with a smaller payload of 350 kg (the size of one smaller Israeli nuclear warhead). It is believed that the Jericho 3 is inertial guided with a radar guided warhead and silo-based with mobile vehicle and railcar capabilities.

Nasty stuff. But certainly with range enough to reach Iran.

Well , I am an eyewitness in Iran and I haven't seen my soul flying up.

So , the opposite eye witnesses are lying.

If Isreal strikes iran the IMO Iran has the right to do whatever the Isrealis would do if they were attacked unprovoked. I bet Isreal would nuke Iran if it had the chance. As such I believ Iran also has that right (if they had that capability)

Do you have an emergency plan for if/when it goes down? And a camcorder? Want me to buy you a camcorder???

Another thought is that these could be to specifically threaten Syria/Gaza/Lebanon, should a bunch of these "missiles" be fired into Israel from any one or all of these places, according to other reports.

Is Israel about the "cross the Rubicon"...? Who knows...

This is all speculation. Paranoia is high in the region.

Probably Made in USA

And / or

Paid by the US tax payers

Sorry, but had to alert that post to the mods. The first part is off topic, and has absolutely NOTHING to do with Sorcha FAIL.

So which is it, on one hand you say I should be banned, and on the other you say the story is probably true. Make up your darn mind!

THINK man. If Israel does go on the offensive against Iran, there would be telltale signs of this they would have a near impossible time hiding from the populations. If they are going to attack, they have to prepare for what might follow. And unless every one of Israel's weapons is already deployed, there WOULD be military equipment movements prior to an attack, as they prepare worst case defenses (like deploying Jericho II and III's) should all hell break loose.

It wouldn't be proper hypocrisy if they didn't use nuclear missiles they don't admit to to stop a nonexistent nuclear iran.

No , I don't have a plan. What is it ?

A plan ? I've decided to float in the space. No plan - No worries.

It is always best way to live long.

kidding-

I have recently bought a telescope to see the nuke before it hits my home. It helps a lot.

Maybe I am going to need a digital camera to record those last moments for you.

I'd rather appreciate donation.

ETA : I know this is Off-topic. But it is very informative and helps changing the climate in ATS.

OP you can tell me if this is bothering you.

Honestly do it or don't do it..I mean these two countries are putting their people into a greater state of worry then is really needed (aside from the normal unstable areas). This is just making it worse. Just a thought.

-SAP-

LOL You wouldnt use Jericho missiles for Gaza or Lebanon for that matter.

I really do not see this as significant. Israel is a very, very small place. Moving some mobile missiles from one place in Israel to another place in Israel is like moving missiles from Long Island to the Bronx in order to hit St. Louis better. It's about 1,000 miles. The Jericho II missile has a range about three times that distance. Moving them 50 miles one way or another is not going to make any difference whatsoever. The Jericho III, in contrast, has a range up to 7,000 miles. It could reach New York City.

Israel may very well try to take out Iran's nuclear facilities. They've gone that route before with Iraq and Syria, but we've been hearing the same song for half a dozen years now that a "strike is imminent!" and it still hasn't happened. It may, I admit, but the movement of these missiles is NOT indicative of it.

TA I am really surprised by your response, and an subsequent one by others anyhow:

I too have had to make a complaint now, It was obvious I was being in jest, this thread is WND based I refer you to:
FAAL ATS Responce

I wish no hard feelings between us, I do appreciate the dangers and problems in the Middle East now, I think this report though is bunk as far as source is concerned.

Kind Regards

Elf

thanks for posting this TA,
whether the eye witness' are truthful or not we are seeing the world powers chess pieces being placed, something to keep a close eye on.

Maybe they'll try conventional air raids... and if it ain't effective, they'll ask the US... and if the US say no, nukes are gonna be used against underground nuclear sites...

And what about the supposed air sortees? I don't know but perhaps they are setting these as a second line of firing if needed. In this case they would do pinpoint attacks from the air first, and if Iran responds too violently, then they would launch the Jerichos. With nukes on board.

Probably right. The Jerichos will be there ``in case`` Iran strikes back with WMDs (chemical/biological)...

As for ``timing`` of Israel strikes against Iran :
December 10 : Full moon.
December 24 : No moon.

And as British intelligence said, Israel wants to strike ``before winter``... which is pretty damn soon.

But yeah the source is meeeeeeeeh.
