Israel: Reservists Called Up to Operate Patriot Missile Defense System Israeli reserve soldiers are being called up to learn how to operate the second Patriot missile defense battery that Tel Aviv has received from Germany, Ha’aretz reported today (see GSN, Jan. 30). Another Patriot battery from Germany is already up and running and U.S.-supplied Patriot batteries are being deployed around Tel Aviv today. The Patriots are intended as a backup to the Arrow missile defense system (see GSN, Feb. 12). Israeli defense officials are also worried about Syrian efforts to develop its Scud-D missiles, although there is no imminent sign of a confrontation between Syria and Israel, Ha’aretz reported (Amos Harel, Ha’aretz, March 4).
