Israel distributes biochemical war protection kits

clipped from www.breitbart.com Israel Tuesday began distributing millions of protection kits against biochemical warfare, Deputy Defence Minister Matan Vilnai announced, stressing the campaign was not linked to any imminent threat. "We have equipped ourselves with millions of protection kits against biological or chemical warfare, and a massive distribution programme for the population started today," Vilnai told army radio. "Every family in Israel can receive these kits at home and be instructed on how to use them by Israeli postal workers, at an average cost of 25 shekels (five dollars), or pick them up free of charge at post office counters." The distribution came as an aide to Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, quoted by the Islamic republic's Fars news agency on Tuesday, warned that his country would hit Tel Aviv with missiles if it came under attack. Iran has regularly boasted of its missile capability, saying it has an arsenal which can strike Israel

clipped from www.google.com TEHRAN — An aide to Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has said that the Islamic republic will strike Tel Aviv with its missiles if it comes under attack, Fars news agency reported on Tuesday. "If the enemy takes its chance and fires a missile towards Iran, the dust from an Iranian missile strike will rise in the heart of Tel Aviv even before the dust from the enemy attack settles" in Iran, said cleric Mojtaba Zolnoor, who is Khamenei's representative in the elite Revolutionary Guards. Fars reported that Zolnoor made the comments at a mosque late Monday, where he also said Iran's foes were aware that Tehran "has become a ballistic power." Iran has regularly boasted of its missile capability, saying it has an arsenal which can strike regional arch-foe Israel.
