Israel: preparations for an Iraqi attack

A high ranking Israeli security source said that Israel is now ready to challenge any likely Iraqi attack in a better way than it has during the second Gulf war ( the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait.)

The Israeli radio quoted the source as saying that Israel now has Heits ( anti missile- missiles) and early warning systems and patriot missiles also. The source indicated that Iraq owns "al-Hussein missiles" and several stations to launch them as well as chemical and biological powers. The source said that the American forces which will attack Iraq will work in the west of Iraq to attack these missiles and their stations.
