(IsraelNN.com) Air Force Chief Brigadier General Eliezer Shkedi warned Wednesday that the possibility exists that terrorists might take aim at Israeli satellites. "It could be done by a state or a terrorist organization, and I suggest that we don't close our eyes because we're talking about a real battlefield and this could potentially occur," he told the Ilan Ramon International Space Conference.

His comments came less than two weeks after Israel successfully launched a satellite that is circling the globe and is intended to gather intelligence. Brig.-Gen. Shkedi added that he knows of no specific threats of an attack on satellites but that the possibility should be taken seriously.
