Saudi Arabia may be targeting Israel and Iran with lorry launched missiles from a base 125 miles south-west of Riyadh, the IHS Jane's Intelligence Review revealed on Tuesday.
The Jane's analysts examined a satellite image of the base, near the town of Al-Watah, built within the last five years.
Analysts found that one of the launch pads "appears to be aligned on a bearing of approximately 301 degrees and suggesting a potential Israeli target, and the other is oriented along an azimuth (bearing) of approximately 10 degrees, ostensibly situated to target Iranian locations."
According to the report the launch pads, were designed for Saudi Arabia's arsenal of lorry launched DF 3 missiles, which have a range of 1500-2500 miles and can carry a two ton payload.
