I was reading this article and the thought came to me that maybe the immediate places that need to be protected are the nuclear power plants.
What would happen if one of those missiles just happened to hit a live power station and cause a chernobyl.
Do the people targeting thier rockets know exaxtly where they will land. It would be the height of irony if those trying to wipe out the Zionist Israel just happened to cause a nuclear fallout that ffd it for the palestinians.
Though if I was an Israeli, I might wonder about this. The Jews probably still have a country to move to after that happened. The palestinian arabs haven't been given a true home or citizenship anywhere in the middle east since 1947.
Is this the real reason the US would make sure those places are protected? One rocket in the wrong place, might just make the whole argument moot.

WASHINGTON: The Obama Administration is asking Congress to approve US$205 million ($288 million) to help Israel speed up deployment of a new short-range rocket defence system.
Israel's "Iron Dome" system is meant to intercept rockets from the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.
Though it could be years before it is fully operational along those two borders, the missile defence system was expected to be deployed at a few initial locations some time this year. |

| Israel doesn't have any nuclear power stations. |

The extent of Israel's nuclear capability has been the subject of often wildly inaccurate intelligence estimates since the 1960s, when the country's nuclear reactor, at Dimona in the Negev desert, came online.

Did they shut it down?
Ah, you are right, they didn't seem to hook it up to the power grid I guess.

Well lets say they hit dimona?
I guess its the same for Iran. What happens if a reactor gets hit? It might make you reconsider having one.
Sorry sergio, that was a good point. You didn't need to remove your post. (post edit). |

As you probably know, Cheronobyl wasn't caused by an attack, it was caused by a reactor malfunction. I'm not certain a direct missile attack would necessarily cause a reactor meltdown. |

Its the not certain part that worries some people.
If a dirty bomb is a problem, then any other possibility may be a worry.
Though with hindsight, maybe I should end this topic.
The US has a habit of reading certain words and I really don't need the word 'dirty bomb' taken out of context. |

| Hezbollah's rockets are weak and Hamas's are even weaker. I think an incompetence-related failure such as Chernobyl or the oil catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico is more probable. |
