From Israel Insider:
Israel is likely to send a “calibrated signal” to Hezbollah and Syria by launching a precise airstrike against a weapons convoy are increasing, the Times of London reported Friday, following reports of Israeli plans to bomb a Syrian arms convey as it crossed the border into Lebanon. The Israeli strike was reportedly called off at the last minute.
Friday’s report covered tensions in the region, and cited satellite images of secret arms depots in Syria, in which surface-to-surface missiles destined for Hezbollah are stored. The report said the Times has been shown images of one such site, located in a compound near the town of Adra, northeast of Damascus. The site reportedly includes living quarters for Hezbollah fighters, arms sheds and a fleet of trucks used for transferring weapons. The facility is believed to be one of several used as a base for weapons deliveries.
“Hezbollah is allowed to operate this site freely,” a security source told the paper. “They often move the arms in bad weather when Israeli satellites are unable to track them.” The weapons in question are either of Syrian origin, or are delivered from Iran by sea or by air. A UN report obtained by the AP indicated that North Korea is supplying nuclear and other military technology in large quantities to Syria and Iran.
It was recently reported that Syria transferred Scud missiles to the Shiite organization. The Times report claims that only two missiles were transferred, which American and Israeli intelligence sources believe have been stored in underground bunkers in the Bekaa Valley. In light of the tight surveillance, one source said that Hezbollah may be considering returning the missiles.
Earlier this month, Yossi Baidatz, head of the Israeli Military Intelligence research department, said the recent transfer of arms to Hezbollah was just the “tip of the iceberg.” The Times confirmed this assessment, reporting that the M-600 missiles Hezbollah posses grant the organization unprecedented accuracy that threatens strategic facilities inside Israel.
After the Israeli strike on one of the arms convoys was called off, reportedly around the time of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah’s visit to Damascus along with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Israel depended on American diplomatic efforts to put an end to the deliveries. But according to Western intelligence sources, the failure of these efforts increase the chances of a targeted Israeli attack against a weapons warehouse or delivery.
John Kerry, head of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, visited Damascus several times in recent months, and reportedly urged Syrian President Bashar Assad to halt the flow or weapons to Lebanon. Assad denied the allegations, and Western officials privately said the Syrian president is “flat out lying” about the weapons transfer to Hezbollah.
The Syrians insist that all their bases are used exclusively by the Syrian military. Jihad Makdissi, the spokesman for the Syrian Embassy in London said, “Syria and Israel remain in a state of war as long as Israel refuses to implement UNSC (United Nations Security Council) resolutions to end the occupation of Arab lands; therefore if these military depots really exist it would be for the exclusive use of the Syrian Army to defend Syrian soil, and it is definitely nobody’s business,” he said.
Western officials cited by the Times privately say that the Syrian leader is “flat out lying”
about the arms transfers.
No shock to me ,prior to the 9-11 murders Hizbulah murdered more Americans than any other Islamist group. Isn’t it wonderful how our double dealing politicians and officials pander to all of these groups, who will not rest until every Jew is dead and Israel is gone from the earth.
Southern Europe would be well advised to support Israel at all costs, since once Israel has been effectively “dealt with”, the Muslim hordes will once again try to conquer Europe.
This time, however, they have a massive fifith column in the form of the millions of Muslims who see themselves as part of the ummah, not as citizens of the countries they settled in. They are the vanguard of the new Islamic conquest and the western world must get rid of this menace before it is too late.
So where is the Spirit of 1942?
Dhimmified, castrated and much too politically correct for tis own good.
Israel should just nuke the f’ing lot of them!
