An Israeli reconnaissance satellite was carried into orbit during the final SpaceX launch of the year. The EROS-3 Earth-imaging satellite was launched aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California at 11:38 p.m. Thursday.

A Human Rights Watch report in 2009 accused Israeli forces of killing civilians in Gaza with drones manufactured by Israeli Aircraft Industries.
