Did any Israeli's die in the war in Iraq to defend Israel against Saddam?

Question

The war in Iraq was caused because Israel was afraid of Saddam, but it was fought by America and the UK. Israel profited greatly from the war because its aid from the U.S. increased greatly so they could buy more weapons which were made in Israel and they sold to China, as I understand it.

Answer 1

None.

Answer 2

They knew our Patriot Missile Defense System was useless, but they went on pretending it was working.



That takes guts!



"[S]shortly after Operation Desert Storm, the first war against Iraq in 1991, the U.S. Army claimed that an earlier model of the Patriot had intercepted 45 out of 47 Iraqi Scuds—a 95 percent success rate. Over the following year, the Army lowered its estimate, stating that Patriots intercepted 79 percent of the Scuds launched over Saudi Arabia and 40 percent of those fired at Israel. These remain the official figures today.



However, even the revisions wildly overstate the Patriot's performance in Desert Storm. A later report by the General Accounting Office concluded that Patriot missiles destroyed only 9 percent of the Scuds they tried to engage. The Israeli Defense Force calculated they'd destroyed just 2 percent. William Cohen, Bill Clinton's secretary of defense, admitted upon leaving office in January 2001, "The Patriot didn't work."

Answer 3

Israel didn't participate in the war but it suffered from Sadam's missiles.



The Iraq war had nothing to do with Israel and it started when Saddam took control of oil fields from neighborhood countries.
