Syria will strike Israel and "set fire" to the Middle East if foreign forces choose to launch a military strike on the protest-ridden country, Syrian President Bashar Assad said on Tuesday. During a meeting with Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, Assad was quoted by the Iranian semi-official news agency Fars as saying that Syria would not hesitate to strike major Israeli cities if it was attacked. "If a crazy measure is taken against Damascus, I will need not more than 6 hours to transfer hundreds of rockets and missiles to the Golan Heights to fire them at Tel Aviv," Assad

LOL, carter canceled the project in this country in 1977.
Knock off the personal attack crap. Now run along and ask that magic eight ball another question.
The Israelis don't even admit to having any type of nuclear device, but no one really believes that. ...especially not their enemies.
Methinks the next time you might find a JDAM up your butt.
Doesn't matter Assad, your time to meet your end draws nigh.

Typical bluster. Bowever, my prediction remains that if the Middle East really, really lights up, Syria may well cease to exist.
The road to Damascus is paved with nuke strewn glass.
The “Iranian semi-official news agency - FARS”.
Please help me. What is a semi-official news agency?
Is that like being semi-fast or half-fast?
I’m confused.
Israel will establish air superiority in ten minutes and anything headed to the Golan Heights will be scrap metal before it even gets close.
Maybe they did steal it.
Reagan restarted neutron bomb production in '81 (first paragraph under 'History'"): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_bomb
Hersh reports (without any stated source) that Israel has developed an extensive array of tactical nuclear weapons: efficient compact boosted fission bombs, neutron bombs (allegedly numbering in the hundreds by the mid-eighties), nuclear artillery shells, and nuclear mines. With an arsenal that is quite possibly in excess of 100 weapons it is likely that some of the nuclear materials would be applied tactical weapons. Boosted bombs are doubtful, as are neutron bombs, due to problems with development in the absence of a significant testing program. Neutron bombs also require very large amounts of tritium (20-30 g per weapon) which would impact the production of plutonium quite seriously (each gram of tritium displaces 80 grams of plutonium production). Artillery shells are also doubtful due to their wastefulness in plutonium. Tactical weapons are probably aircraft or missile delivered, or are pre-emplaced mines. Burrows and Windrem claim (without indicating a source) that Israel has produced 300 warheads, including those that have since been dismantled. They place the current arsenal at about 200 weapons.

Again, neutron bombs cause little to no fallout. Detonations in Syria wouldn’t have any effect on the Israeli population. ...which is why they made obtaining them such a high priority.
but the ideal that Israel would take out Damascus is still childish.

Israel would nuke Damascus only if she felt her existence threatened — The Samson Option.
And btw, with no fallout (from ERWs), wind direction means precisely squat.
