Israel Launches Spy Satellite

The Israeli government launched a spy satellite Tuesday night that defense officials said would upgrade the country's intelligence capabilities. Defense contractors told reporters it would help the military keep a closer eye on suspected Iranian nuclear facilities.

The Ofek 9 satellite was launched from Palmachim Air Base, where bystanders recorded the lift-off.
