An American source says that Syria allowed Hezbollah operatives to train within its territory in the use of advanced SA2 anti-aircraft missile batteries, the Kuwaiti daily Al Rai reported Sunday.
In an interview, the senior U.S. official warned that if Syria supplies Hezbollah with this type of missile, Israel will bomb Damascus and a war will likely ensue.
According to the official, Israel has warned Syria not to allow the transfer of the SA2 missiles into the hands of Hezbollah, and views the transfer of such missiles as the crossing of a red line.

Report: Hizbullah Deployed Syrian-Made Missiles Capable of Destroying Israel

Hizbullah has reportedly recently deployed advanced Syrian-made surface-to-surface missiles on Lebanese territory that are capable of hitting almost any target in Israel. The report carried by the British defense weekly magazine "Jane's" said the projectiles are a clone of Iran's Fateh-110 missile which has a range of 250 kilometers and carries a 500-kg warhead capable of causing significant damage and distinguishing the levels of precision of the objectives.
Jane's military correspondent Alon Ben-David quoted Israeli military sources as confirming that the type M-600 missiles were deployed in Lebanon for the first time. "Syria puts no limits on arms supplies to Hizbullah, and therefore, we must understand that any kind of combat weapons in the possession of the Syrian army will ultimately reach Hizbullah," Ben-David quoted an Israeli military source as saying.

doh!!
That’s depressing. Syria is a secular country and has one of the most enfranchised Christian communities in the Middle East. It would be a shame for anything to happen that could stir Islamic radicalism there.
Even though they don't work at night, I'm sure they're watching everything.
Top Syrian presidential aide Brigadier-General Mohammed Suleiman, assassinated in August 2008, reportedly supplied Hezbollah with the advanced SA-8 anti-aircraft missile system, according to The Times of London.
The Russian-made SA-8 surface-to-air missile system is a highly mobile, short-range tactical system, the first mobile air defense missile system to incorporate its own engagement radars on a single vehicle.
"See, Damascus will no longer be a city but will become a heap of ruins.
The infiltration with missiles of various sizes has been going on unimpeded for quite a while. The arsenal in its overall size now must be very impressive. The UN has once again proved itself feckless.
You got it. This prophecy has never been fulfilled to date. Coming soon to the planet earth??? I think so!!!
A friend reminded me today:
Isaiah 17:1 - Woe to Damascus. It has been taken away from being a city, it has become a ruinous heap.
Damascus is a 2000 year-old city and is still standing .. for now!
Sorry, but this is news? Hezbollah has always been known as a Syrian proxy force. They don’t even hide that either; if you look at Hezbollah rallies in Beirut, they ALWAYS have Syrian flags with them. Not Palestinian flags or Arab League flags, Syrian flags.
To which I can only add: RAPTURE READY?
LOL. Funny that entirely different source (Times of London) calls another antiquated (early ‘70s tech) SAM system “advanced.” In their defense, however, the Ruskies are still fielding the system. SA-22s would be more significant. Still, given the nature of hezbollah, I’d think the Syrians/Iranians would be giving them old SA-14/18s.
Some info on the SA-2 here :
Mite be something else,,,

“3:15pm An Israeli army patrol crossed into the Lebanese side of the border village of Ghajar and made a 300-meter penetration of the area.
1:10pm NNA: Israeli warplanes flew low over south Lebanon, drawing fire from Lebanese army guns.”

Guess who gets the first bomb ?...;0)
Well DUH, adding a lit match to gasoline will also cause a huge fire!!!
I am beginning to think this current IDF exercise may be just posturing . . . at least for now. Netanyahu just arrived in Berlin for talks with Merkel (http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1263147918666&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull)
I don’t see the IDF starting ops against Hezbollah or anyone else with Bibi out of town
