Staying Real in Israel

It would seem that Syria is slowly, inexorably pushing Israel towards military confrontation…another war from Israel’s north. This, in the face of empty talk of peace by Syrian President Assad. Assad, another Arab leader claiming he wants nothing but peace with Israel, but with the caveat that it be peace, only if he is given everything that he demands…Unacceptable, of course, to side #2 in this “peace”, Israel.

Syria has transferred more missiles to the Hizbullah terrorist organization in Lebanon…this time, much longer-ranged Scud missiles, capable of reaching most of Israel. Hizbullah is openly dedicated to destroying the Jewish State of Israel.

Both Israel AND the US have warned Syria about the danger of supplying Hizbullah with weapons, so far, to no avail.

Israeli Army bulldozers were filmed building embankments north of the security fence with Lebanon, an apparent preparation for war on that rapidly boiling front. More likely would be strikes by the Israeli Air Force on selected Syrian and Lebanese targets threatening Israel.

The scent of war is strong in the Middle East today…

Scud Missiles Placed in Lebanon are Threatening Most of Israel

Barak: Syria-Lebanon arms transfer violates UN resolutions

The transfer of advanced Syrian weapons to Lebanon destabilizes the region and is a blatant violation of United Nations resolutions, Defense Minister Ehud Barak said on Tuesday in response to media reports that Syria recently transferred Scud missiles to Hizbullah.

On Monday, Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Rai reported that Damascus had transferred the missiles to Hizbullah and that in response, Israel had threatened to bomb Syrian and Lebanese targets.

Barak said Tuesday that the IDF was closely following what was happening in Lebanon.

“We have no offensive intentions with regard to Lebanon,” he said during a tour of the IDF’s Tel Hashomer Base. “We recommend that everyone work to retain the quiet.”

Earlier in the day, Barak visited the Ramat David Air Force Base with Deputy Chief of General Staff Maj.-Gen. Benny Gantz and said the IDF was prepared for all of the challenges it currently faced.

At the same time, though, Barak said Israel needed to make efforts to achieve peace with its neighbors.
