WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Israel has carried out an air strike targeting a shipment of missiles in Syria (http://www.reuters.com/places/syria) bound for Hezbollah guerrillas in neighboring Lebanon, an Israeli official said on Saturday.


Israel had long made clear it is prepared to resort to force to prevent advanced Syrian weapons, including President Bashar al-Assad's reputed chemical arsenal, reaching his Hezbollah allies or Islamist rebels taking part in a more than two-year-old uprising against his government.


Israelis are worried that if Assad is toppled, Islamist fighters could turn his guns on them next door, after four decades of relative calm along the Golan Heights border zone.

A Lebanese security source said his initial impression was that Israeli overflights were monitoring potential arms shipments between Syria and Lebanon, potentially to Hezbollah, a militant Shi'ite Muslim ally of Iran (http://www.reuters.com/places/iran) and Assad.


"We believe that it is linked to Israel's concerns over the transfer of weapons, particularly chemical weapons, from Syria to its allies Lebanon," said the official, who asked not to be named. Hezbollah fought a 34-day war with Israel in 2006.

What is Israel, our regional ally, to conclude?

Obama would not send assistance to his own State Department employees being massacred in Benghazi. Should the Israelis conclude their security is higher on Obama's priority list?

That wouldn't be wise.

I saw that last night on Fox News

Nice to see someone has the balls to do something about the chemical weapons

Looks as if when the US wimps out it is up to Israel to step up to the plate

Next thing you know, Hezz will claim it was a baby formula plant, like Iraq did in 91.

so bombing people before they bomb you is again said to be "defense".
and we accept the word of a foreign gov't as gold on this.
And the fact the the rebels ALREADY seem to have chemical weapons but they are NOT the target of the attack seems to be a problem here as well.

If the rebels ALREADY have the chem weapons and target #1 and #2 are Israel and the US why haven't they attacked either with them? and why are we supporting the rebels that Israel says they are concerned about?
Hezbolah is said to be an Ally of Iran. Iran already has Chem weapons sooo what is Israel concerned about with Asad again?

It seems there's more going on than meets the eye. if you want to take a step back and try to get a different picture than just the cartoon "war on terror" scenario.

It seems to me
the Israel is fighting against Asad and for the rebels, while out of the other sides of there mouths complaining about the reebels
the US is Against Ssad and backing the rebels
and the rebels are a mixed bag of Islamic jihadist and with side of alqeada.


but we say we are fighting a war on terror?
what wrong with this picture folks?

rev. Are you really that deaf, dumb, and blind? Or did you work at it?

Why haven't you asked those questions of Assad who seems to have murdered nearly 70 Thousand of his OWN people?
And you say nothing???

Seems to me Israel did what Obama said he would do

As usual, Obama's "red line" quickly became red tape. It goes well with the yellow streak running down Obama's back

Things are really much simpler than you make them out to be Rev.

Iran, assad, hezbo are all allies. Iran ships their weapons through syria into lebanon with assads blessings. The muslim brotherhood is the parent organization of al queda and all the other islamic groups. The dear leader of our country has sided with the MB for his own sinister reasons. The MB and dear leader don't care if hezbo gets missiles and weapons from iran. Only Israel is concerned about that. So they have stopped the shipment. They have since then made a strike against a weapons storage facility as well. They are not helping anyone. They are simply insuring certain weapons are not going to be used on them.

Syria is part of the war to establish the MB caliphate. They are taking them down one country at a time. The shite's aren't going to be allowed to survive. Then they will turn their full attention on Israel.

There are real conspiracies going on, but your looking in all the wrong directions.

red states rule. Thank you! I've long wondered where the expression "Like flies on crap" came from. Now I have no need to google it.
