I was wondering if there would be any other reasons for the unannounced test of the arrow missile in the eastern med besides the standard missile testing. Would they be able to find the location of the Russian fleet when they lit up their radar to track the launch or gather some other kind of electronic emissions? It seems like an odd time to do an unannounced missile test at a time when everybody in the region is expecting a military strike.

It was a reminder to Syria and Iran that any hope of expanding the Syrian civil war by launching ballistic missiles against Israel are not likely to succeed. The undemonstrated threat is Israeli retaliation by Jericho III in a ballistic missile exchange.
