Report: Syria Seizes Arms Smuggled from Northern Lebanon
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The Syrian army seized arms and ammunition hidden in two vehicles for the purpose of smuggling them from Lebanon into Syria, As Safir newspaper reported on Wednesday.
A Lebanese security source told the daily “Syrian forces seized arms, explosives and night vision goggles from two cars on their way to Homs and Tartous.”
“The arms came from northern Lebanon, and they contain Israeli Uzi machine guns,” the source said.
Syrian authorities have accused al-Mustaqbal Movement of supporting the smuggling of weapons to the opposition, but the Lebanese Army Intelligence Branch and border police have confirmed only a few of the many occurrences of arms smuggling reported by the media.
Earlier this month, Military Examining Magistrate Fadi Sawan issued an indictment against three people on charges of smuggling arms between Lebanon and Syria.
Since mid-March, Syria has been shaken by an unprecedented pro-democracy protest movement that President Bashar Assad’s regime has sought to crush using deadly force.

the filthy zionist information war department is comparing the arming of our glorious resistance with their smuggling activities.
I will tell you the difference:
1. your smuggling didn't and will not make any difference.
2. the result of arming our glorious resistance is that you piss your pants every time you think of lebanon. with reason
eat your hearts out.

someone is being a little conspiracy wacko stupid. Firstly, there are millions of Uzis all over the world and its an obsolete weapon to boot. Secondly, half of you buts think that Israel is supporting Assad and that he's a secret Zionist, and half of you think Israel is supporting his overthrow. The reality is, Israel has no influence here and is waiting (like normal folks) do see how the whole thing ends. We get no pleasure out of seeing people (in this case, Arabs) kill eh other.

@Jabalamel: Syria occupied Lebanese territory for decades, did your resistance do anything about it? Syria finances Palestinian groups in the camps to attack Lebanese military and assassinate politicians, Syria funds bombings and assassinations throughout Lebanese history or just carries them out directly. Who are the hypocrites?
