Missile Attacks on Israel Increase with Updated Images on Google Earth - Rmail
Posted by elveston priory at 10:22 pm
Israel’s fears in regards to Google Earth’s satellite imaging tools have come to fruition. Members of Palestine’s al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, a group aligned with the Fatah political party, has admitted to using Google Earth for mapping targets for rocket strikes. Khaled Jaabari, the group’s commander, has said that they are using Google Earth images to check details against their own maps in order to find sensitive areas that are vulnerable to strikes.
As Israel already expressed concern about the updated Google Earth images, and Google Earth also faced criticism when al-Qaida used Google Earth for similar purposes, the admittance from the Palestinian militants may spur more aggressive discussions for not only Israel but privacy groups overall.

User comment: By: StefanWhere in the Guardian story does it say that missile attacks are increasing because of Google Earth, or even just increasing for whatever reason? I can't see it -- surely you're not engaging in tendentious blogging?

User comment: By: RyanMaybe Google Earth should just block all IP's to the Middle East until everyone learns to play nice. Heck, may want to include North America in that blacklist to make sure no Al Queda cells can't access it. Also, if we can get Intel, Microsoft, Dell, etc. to make sure no PC's end up in the hands of terrorists, that would be even better. /sarcasm_off
