Netanyahu: Israel 'Acts' to Deny Syria Arms Transfer to Hizbullah
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Israel is "acting" to prevent Syrian weapons reaching Hizbullah and will continue to do so, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday.
His remarks came two weeks after Israel carried out air strikes near Damascus, which a senior Israeli source said were aimed at preventing the transfer of sophisticated Iranian arms to Hizbullah.
Netanyahu said the Middle East was going through its most sensitive period for decades, with the conflict in Syria at the center of the turmoil.
"We are closely following developments and changes there, and we are prepared for any scenario," he said at the start of the weekly cabinet meeting.
"The government of Israel is acting in a responsible, determined and prudent manner to ensure the supreme interest of the State of Israel which is the security of its citizens according to the policy we set: to prevent as far as possible leakage of advanced weapons to Hizbullah and terrorist elements," he said.
"We will ensure the security interests of the citizens of Israel in the future."
Israel has repeatedly warned that it would not permit the transfer of advanced weapons or chemical agents to Hizbullah or to any other militant groups.
On January 30, another strike on Syrian soil, which also was attributed to Israel by regional sources, destroyed what military intelligence officials say was a shipment of Russian-made SA-17 anti-aircraft missiles destined for Hizbullah.

As Henry Ford once said, "I despise the Jews for not accepting Christ as the Saviour & Messiah". Christ Jesus fulfilled the scriptures as it was written in the Old Testament, yet these Jews didn't believe and had him crucified fulfilling further the word of God regarding Christ's coming.

The Jews were put placed in Occupied Palestine by the British, French, American Allied forces so the Muslims do not control the Holy Land. Basically, the Jews are in control due to the losses ascertained by the Crusades. Losses were due to devil infiltrating the ranks and hence the final plan of the devil creating a division within the Roman church (East - Orthodox & West - Catholics, then Protestant, then Methodist, then what ever denomination you like...)

When the Israeli Hitlers spend most of their time barking and tefshikhayting, you know they are out of any good options, and this is always a great thing unless you are a March 14er or a Lebanon Firster Some Twenty-Two Damn Years Late and Still. What's the best solution, you ask? How about these Hitlers going back to their countries of origin, Poland, Germany, Denmark, France, Belarus, Russia... where, let's face it, they are despised. But then they are despised everywhere, even in Palestine. Here's a thought: how about going to Saudi Arabia and Qatar? Huh?
