with a warhead instead of a
satellite, and if it was fired in-
to a high atmosphere trajec-
tory rather than into space, it
would be capable of delivering
a payload within a radius of
2,000 miles, bringing all the
Middle East capitals within
range (the Jericho-2 rocket,
which Israel test-fired in May
1987, had a range of about
1,200 miles).
This may be precisely the
message Israel intended to
deliver to the growing
number of Middle East states
— including Iran, Iraq, Saudi
Arabia, Syria and Egypt —
which are not only acquiring
arsenals of ground-to-ground
missiles, but also the ability
to arm them with chemical
warheads.
Indeed, in the same week as
Israel launched Ofek-1, space
researchers in Sweden re-
leased satellite pictures
which showed that Saudi
Arabia had installed Chinese-
made ballistic missiles
around the A-Sulayil oasis,
285 miles south-west of
Riyadh.
While the Saudis are pri-
marily worried about the
threat from Iran, the point
has not been lost on Israeli
military planners that the
new Saudi rockets are also
capable of reaching targets in
Israel.
Concern at the spread of
missiles in the volatile Mid-
dle East has led Western na-
tions to try to stop Argentina
from developing its medium-
range Condor-2 missile,
which is being co-produced
with Egypt and Iraq, and
which will be capable of car-
rying a nuclear warhead.
Representatives of the
United States, Britain,
France, West Germany, Italy,
Canada and Japan met in
Rome last month and are
reported to have agreed to try
to persuade Argentina to
ditch the Condor-2, which
will undoubtedly find a
market in the lucrative Mid-
dle East, where the high-tech
arms race is now in high gear.
The message of Ofek-1, ac-
cording to Dr. Dore Gold, a
senior member of Tel Aviv
University's Center for
Strategic Studies, could have
a significant psychological
impact on the balance of
power, even if Israel uses its
satellites for nothing more
sinister than monitoring the
weather.
While Israel does not have
the means for stopping an in-
coming missile, it has now
served notice that it is
capable of providing a re-
sponse in kind.
Jerusalem has played a
long and tantalizing guessing
game over its nuclear poten-
tial. It is almost certain to do
the same with its newly ac-
quired satellite capability. ❑
