Israel launches spy satellite to keep a better eye on 'enemies'
Israel on Monday launched a new spy satellite that it said would provide high-quality surveillance for its military intelligence.
Israel has been building up its surveillance capabilities to monitor enemies such as Iran, whose nuclear program it sees as a major threat.
The satellite, called Ofek 16, was shot into space early morning on July 6th from a site in central Israel by a locally-developed Shavit rocket, which was used to launch previous Ofek satellites.
