Debkafile:’Israel’ Calls up Reserves, US Beefs up Qatar Air Base

Local Editor

"Israeli" debkafile reported Thursday that ahead "of the US strike on Syria, the "Israeli" security cabinet in special session Wednesday, Aug. 28, ordered the partial mobilization of select, qualitative "Israeli" reserve forces: Rocket, Air Force, missile interception, War command and intelligence units."

It further revealed that anti-missile Arrow, Patriot and Iron Dome systems were spread out more widely than ever before across the Zionist entity.
Barring last-minute hold-ups, debkafile's military sources report the American operation is scheduled to start Friday night, early Saturday Aug. 30-31.

"In the past 24 hours, the US Air Force finished a major buildup at the big US Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. B-1B bombers and F-22 Raptor stealth fighter jets were brought over from other US Mid East air facilities on the Omani island of Masirah and Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean," it added.
These squadrons were not assigned to the US military strike against Syria, said the "Israeli" military source, but will stand ready to move in should unforeseen complications in the course of the US missile assault on Syria call for the introduction of extra assets from outside.

"The new US air force reinforcements in Qatar will stand ready to rush to the aid of US allies - Israel, Jordan and Turkey - in the event of their coming under Syrian Scud attack," it mentioned.
In "Israel", the "Israeli" Wednesday installed two Iron Dome missile interceptors in the northern "Valleys" region and Safed in addition to Haifa. Another Iron Dome battery was posted in the central district. Arrow, Patriot anti-missile missiles, as well as Iron Domes, have been deployed more widely across "Israel" than ever before.

Debkafile's military sources reported that "Israel's" Arrow and Patriot interceptors are linked to the US missile shield with which their operation is synchronized.

Wednesday morning, the machinery for distributing gas masks to the "Israelis" broke down under the pressure of demands to distribution centers across the country. The "Israeli" ministry's website crashed. Former Interior Minister Ellie Yishay complained of a shortage of protective masks due to budget cuts. He said there are only enough to supply 40 percent of the "Israelis".
