Israel Aerospace Industries CEO Boaz Levy addressed the launch of the 'Ofek 19' spy satellite into space yesterday in an interview with ynet studio, saying: "We took an extraordinary step to enhance Israel's capabilities as a true space power. The number of satellites dictates our ability to observe Earth in geographic regions, and as the years pass, the technology improves." According to him, "This gives the defense establishment better capabilities in identifying things on the ground. The main thing that needs to be said - since yesterday night, the State of Israel has another watchful eye in space."
