Looks like the war of rhetoric is continuing...whether Israel can really stop an incoming from Iran or elsewhere...who knows. I think what is more
telling is with a statement like this Israel is throwing Iran's threats right back at'em.

Israel has been surprisingly quiet throughout the whole UK hostage situation. I really expected to hear a lot more from on the happenings around the
region.
Look what Iran is now accusing the British of. Things are getting more heated over there every time I look at the news.
Iran claims British troops attacked its outpost in southern Iraq:

I really think Iran is trying to pick a fight, they know at this moment their international standing is dubious, so throwing the first punch, cast
them in an even worse light than already. If they can get the west to throw it for them...well, then they look like underdog.
It's the classic taunt the bigger guy till he punches you and gets himself thrown out of the bar...or in this case...if they can provoke the west in
blinking first...the our credibility would be shot...there are those that would say it is already...although I'm not one of them.

missiles fired from Hezbollah during the lebanon war, any one know why????

Because those small, inaccurat surface-to -surface Quasams are junk and never hit much. They are talking about LARGE missiles here... not shoulder
fired rockets.

I agree with Pootie on this...this missile defense seems intended for larger Iran size rockets...Hezbollah although a big headache is a border threat
as far as rockets go...Iran's missile/rocket tech at least as they advertise it is more regionally intended in it's scope of influence.

I'm sorry, but I've never seen consistently effective missile defense.
