Israel Defense Forces Choose Meprolight For Red Dot Sights
The Israel Defense Forces have ordered thousands of Meprolight's next-generation MEPRO M5 Red Dot Sights.

Meprolight has been selected by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) as the sole supplier of the next generation of combat sights. Delivery of thousands of MEPRO M5 Red Dot Sights will begin next month and continue for about a year.

“We are very proud that the IDF selected us as the sole suppliers of their next generation of combat sights, following an evaluation and testing process that resulted in a clear acknowledgement that the MEPRO M5 is the best sight in its category,” Benny Kokia, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, said in a statement

The MEPRO M5 Red-Dot Sight is an energy-efficient, compact sight that provides thousands of operating hours while utilizing a single “AA” commercial battery. Featuring battle-proven LED technology and rugged MIL-STD design, the sight assures reliability under the harshest environmental conditions.

With its large display window and clearly-defined Red Dot, the MEPRO M5 ensures rapid target acquisition with both eyes open. Offering numerous reticle brightness intensities, the MEPRO M5 suits every tactical scenario.

To facilitate night operations and long-range target engagement, the MEPRO M5 is compatible with GEN II and GEN III NVGs as well as with Magnifying Scopes. Its human engineering allows positioning of NVGs and Magnifiers close to the sight’s optics with no decrease in the field-of-view and without compromising convenient switch operation.

Does not look like the UK will initiate/participate in any direct military action anytime soon.

I was just watching the debate in the house of commons, parliament voted against a motion for military action against Syria.

I'm surprised actually, +1 for democracy in the UK, many here thought it was dead.

Cameron recalls parliament in hope of support, only to get a 'no' vote thrown back in his face, talk about shooting yourself in the foot.:D

And if the Americans do not get British support, it will be another political blow to Obama and the US.

Pure speculation on my part:
Is it to equip the Syrian government with a chance of shooting down anyone trying to bomb Syrian government positions? Or to assist in case anyone tries an air-to-air shoot down of a Syrian government aircraft?

It's a very small force and based close to Israel, a past and potential future attacker of Syrian government forces or its allies, but Israel is perfectly capable of taking these aircraft out while they are still on the ground.
