I think so too but what are the cababilities of the Popeye Turbo cruise missile, no one knows but the Israelis. Max range ive found is 1500km for the sub launched version. Can they do the same from the air is a mystery. Thats why i was suggesting launching them from above Syria. That would enable hitting all targets of value, though you can hit some from just Israel. I would like to know if they have any subs on the Indian Ocean at the moment, that would be a good place to launch. EDIT And i think they are allready expecting a strike at anytime, so you have to plan from that they are at full alert.
