In Response to the Iranian Safir Missile Test, Israelis Leak Video About an Israel Secret Missile Test

Editor's Note:

In an apparent response to the Iranian Safir missile test, two days ago, the Israeli defense ministry leaked a video footage of what the video calls an Israeli secret missile test.

The Israeli news story tried to persuade viewers that it was not a leak but an incident. However, the news story does not stand a moment of scrutiny, particularly because the "incident" happened directly after the Iranian missile testing.

It's an apparently leaked story to assure Israelis that they have in their arsenal what enables them to attack the extremely oil-rich country of Iran.

Israel’s secret missile test goes out live on air

Russia Today, August 19, 2008, 15:12

An Israeli TV channel has found out that anyone who has a satellite dish can watch live transmissions of the country’s Defence Ministry. No special passwords are needed and transmissions can be easily accessed not only in Israel but all across the Middle East, including countries with which Israel hardly has warm relations.
It’s not known how many people witnessed Israel’s secret missile test. A transmission from a camera at the control was apparently meant to interact with other control sites but became available for all those who were lucky enough to tune in.

The footage clearly shows people, computers and other equipment. All conversation, including passwords to the computer of the Ministry of Defence, can be clearly heard.

At the time of the launch those that were tuned in could see the whole process from the start of the countdown to a monitor showing all the details of the secret weapon, including speed and geographical location.

It still not clear how or why the top secret information was leaked. The Defence Ministry has yet to comment.
