Israel missile Test amid fear of Syria escalation: BBC

The Israeli government underwent a missile test, which rose the tensions even further with their neighbor Syria. Before this test, Israel and Syria have undergone a 30 month conflict causing two million refugees to flee. BBC's Richard Galpin in Jerusalem said that Israel is taking measures to the possibility that the US might send air strikes, leading into a Syrian retaliation, or possibly an allied attack from the Shia militia in Lebanon, on Israel. This missile preparation was all caused when an alleged chemical attack on August 21 killed innocent women and children. President Obama is pushing for a military retaliation on Syria, asking permission from congress to give US intervention.
