Israeli Cities Ordered to Ready Bomb Shelters

Israeli Cities Ordered To Ready Bomb Shelters

By Mazal Mualem

Ha'aretz Daily Correspondent

The Union of Local Authorities (ULA) on Thursday ordered the heads of the local municipalities to prepare public bomb shelters. The move came following re-assessment talks with security forces, which were held in light of the current tension between the United States and Iraq, and the possibility that Israel will be the target of an Iraqi retaliatory strike in response to an American invasion. ULA Chairman Adi Eldar sent a letter to municipality heads, requesting that they hold tutorial sessions with Home Front command officers, and they check the operational level of the shelters in their municipality. The municpalities were also ordered to ensure that they have adequate gasoline reserves, that the backup systems are in working order and that they had adequate numbers of staff.

Israel will probably flatten Baghdad in the first 15 minutes if they think a nuclear missile is in bound. Once this fuse is lit, its gonna big a big one.

and the possibility that Israel will be the target of an Iraqi retaliatory strike in response to an American invasion. Will someone please explain the logic in this? If we bomb Irac shouldn't they in return try to strike us?

Although Iraq is always a crazed possibility, isn't this more likely a response to the rockets that have been set up by Hizbollah and that the PA is trying to import into the West Bank? If a few were fired off, and the IDF decided to clean house within 10 or 20 miles of the current border, the populace would need bomb shelters because the rest would be likely to be fired as well. Of course, in that event, it would also make sense to be prepared for Iraqi, Iranian, or Egyptian misadventures as well.

Precisely. Saddam may be a Clintonesque megalomaniac, but he's no idiot. Do you think he'd be that dumb? Or would he instead just aim a Scud or two?

Logically your right....but....that is not how the rage heads fight....they sneak up behind you and throw a grenade or hold some old lady hostage. Then when you do hit them they kill some weak old lady (isreal) in retaliation....ie: they are p_ _ _ies....(excuse my language)

Remember Desert Storm?

Iraq was so incensed at their own inability to inflict any actual damage to the American war machine, that they fired their SCUD's at the only target they could hit....Israel. They bet (corretctly) that Israel would listen to our pleading "please don't F- up our nice coalition", and not retaliate. Good thing for Iraq that Israel did not, they are very skilled in "immediate, total, and dispropartional" method of kicking butt.
