"World of Warcraft" and Israel's Rocket-Hunting Ace

This article from April seems timelier than ever:
While many of the boys in Idan Yahya’s high school class were buffing up and preparing themselves for selection into elite combat units, this gawky teenager was spending “a lot of time” playing Warcraft. ... People in the army describe him variously as a geek and an ace. But the geek who grew up playing Warcraft is now a highly prized soldier on the cutting edge of real war craft. He’s the Israeli army’s top rocket interceptor.

I think this is Warcraft the RTS not World of Warcraft the MMO.

Just saying...
