will, those of us who werne't 10 y.o at the time remember that Saddam lobbed quite a number of scuds at Israel. And they werne't aimed at southern Israel, which is desert - they were aimed at Tel Aviv and its suburbs. There were newsreels of people driving out of Tel Aviv and up to Jerusalem every evening, on the theory that Saddam wouldn't lob scuds into a Muslim holy city. And Pres Bush gave Israel Patriot missile batteries to try to intercept the incoming scuds.
and no, I'm not giving you a link. This is my memory. I have a pretty good one.
