In the past few weeks, Hezbollah at the behest of Iran and Syria has commandeered the 7,800-foot Mt. Sannine, a strategic asset capable of determining the outcome of the next war, as DEBKA-Net Weekly 356 revealed.
Radar-guided missile positions and an early warning station have since been deployed on its summit, which are capable of monitoring and threatening US Sixth Fleet movements in the eastern Mediterranean and Israel Air Force flights.
This development was serious enough for Israeli defense minister Ehud Barak to repeat three times in as many days that the IDF is keeping a close watch on events in the northern front, especially the deepening ties between Syria and the Lebanese Hezbollah. Barak travels to Washington this week.
Mt. Sannine, which dominates the roads connecting Beirut and Damascus, is one of the most prized strategic assets in the region. It was fought over for years by Syria and Israel, both seeking to control this ideal vantage point for an early warning station to command the eastern Mediterranean, the northern half of Israel and the Damascus region.
Its takeover on behalf of Tehran places Israeli security at a grave disadvantage. This topic is expected to figure large in the talks French president Nicolas Sarkozy holds with visiting Syrian ruler Bashar Assad this week...
This is an excellent opportunity to test out that airborne laser that the U.S. has in its arsenal.
ZZZAAAAAAPPPPPP!
If true, it won’t last long.
Soon to be a pile of rubble, hopefully. ;-)

“Iranian Early Warning Station, Anti-Air Base On Lebanese Peak”
The peak needs some attention:

The Iranians have won the toss and have elected to receive.
Bringing new levels of meaning to the saying “It is better to give than to receive”.
“Iranian Early Warning Station, Anti-Air Base On Lebanese Peak”
a.k.a. target practice
That’s the early warning...when it becomes rubble.
Waiting for some more “Oh, Dude!” moments brought to us by the fine folks of the United States Air Force.
The Israeli air force will blow them off the side of their “peak” lol
I’d say that Iranian confidence in having such a strategic location is a detriment. You’re most vulnerable when you think you see.
But we’re talking about seeing via technology.
And technology can tell you everything is AOK.....and that’s when counter-measures kill you.
A smart qualification when dealing with a Debka report.
*chuckle*
“The Israeli air force will blow them off the side of their “peak” lol”
That’s if they are lucky. The Syrians regret to this day placing artillery on the Golan Heights, in what is now Israel.
Perhaps now is the time for newer occupied territories to hammer the point home to Israel’s neighbors (again).
lollollol
Pelosi & feinds want to realease oil from the strategic reserve. Brilliant bunch of boobs.
If memory serves, the first thing to get blasted in the 1991 Gulf War was Saddam's "early warning site" courtesy of our AH-64 Apache helicopters.
There is nothing wrong with Mohammed's radar sites that American pilots cannot fix.
Debka Ping! Woot!
