Israel Tests Advanced Missile as Netanyahu Seeks Cabinet Support for Iran Strike
by News Editor
Telegraph – The report, citing a senior Israeli official, said Mr Netanyahu was working with Ehud Barak, the defense minister, to win support from skeptical members of the cabinet who oppose attacking Iranian nuclear facilities.
Israel test-fired a ballistic missile from a military base in central Israel on Wednesday, Israel Radio said.
Washington Post– JERUSALEM — Israel successfully test-fired on Wednesday a missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead and striking Iran, fanning a public debate over whether the country’s leaders are agitating for a military attack on Tehran’s atomic facilities.
