Two Days After UAV, Patriots Posted Near Haifa & Other Parts Of N. Israel
Two days after an Iranian pilotless helicopter breached Israeli air space, Israel Monday, Oct. 8, stationed Patriot missile interceptor batteries in different parts of northern Israel, including Mt. Carmel, near Haifa, in what one Israeli official called a routine step. debkafile’s military sources disclose that the Patriot, which has extremely high interception capabilities, was in fact rushed into position as the country celebrated Simhat Torah, lest Iran or Hizballah plan a follow-up aerial intrusion and in view of the current deterioration in Syria which Turkish President Abdullah Gulf called Monday “the worst case scenario.” These batteries are only normally deployed during joint US-Israeli drills or in times of eve-of-war tension.
The IDF is clearly acting fast to correct the air defense weaknesses which permitted the UAV Saturday, Oct. 6, to fly undetected from north to south along Israel’s Mediterranean coastline over its gas and oil rigs and close to its Haifa Bay industrial center, power stations and Navy bases in Haifa and Ashdod. Most worrying was the Iranian drone’s flight over IDF’s sensitive the Palmachim rocket launch site not far from the Nahal Soreq nuclear research reactor, without triggering any early warning tracking systems.

Wait a second, it’s just a theory but what if the drone was sent by Israel so that they had an excuse to set up defences ready for a sneak attack on Iran and add to that the execution of the diplomat in Libya being a false flag like it is starting to look so that the USA had an excuse to remove staff from embassies from around the world.
Throw in Obama saying no attack this side of the elections to make Iran feel safe and the stage is set.
My only hope is Iran goes after the puppets masters when it is forced to defend itself
