 Jerusalem (SPX) Jan 31, 2005
 Israel will launch two military satellites in the near future, leading Ha'aretz newspaper quoted a military publication as saying last Thursday.

The military weekly "Bamahane" reported in its current edition that the launch of the two satellites has been brought forward because of the failure of the "Ofeq 6" to attain orbit last September.

"Ofeq 6" was a sophisticated spy satellite designed to replace older models, but it plunged into the Mediterranean in a failed launch attempt on Sept. 6.

The report said the two satellites, called TESCAR and Ofeq 7, developed by Israeli military industries, are to be launched in the near future.

According to the report, the TESCAR satellite represents a "technological breakthrough and will expand the capabilities" of Israel's satellite program.

Earlier, Israeli spy satellites have flown over Syria, Iran and Iraq.
