Israel has engineered a surface-to-surface cruise missile – a lethal technological first for any Middle Eastern country.

According to a report by Jane's Defence Weekly to be published next week, the missiles range is officially 250km and can reach neighbouring capitals such as Damascus and Beirut with ease.

But Israeli defence sources on Tuesday said its range is actually "well beyond 300km". An additional boost engine was the key to making the adaptation possible.

I came across this as an asterisked footnote within another article:

Turkey recalled its two most senior diplomats in Israel yesterday, amid growing tensions between the two states over the army's attacks on the Gaza Strip. Last week, the Turkish prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, accused Mr Sharon's government of practising state terrorism.
