Israelis pound Syria

Apparently, the shit has just hit the fan. “ Raja,  The NY Times and Debkafile both report Israel destroyed a warehouse at Damascus International Airport.  Both report that the warehouse contained either SCUD or much more modern surface to surface missiles, destined for Hizbollah.  They had just been sent to Syria by Iran.  According to both reports, the Israeli missiles were fired by Israeli aircraft over Lebanon, so they are long range missiles the Israelis fired.  The Israeli jets later continued to fly over other parts of Lebanon, including the capitol. .... thousands of Basij militiamen had just been airlifted from Iran to Syria, establishing an Iranian military presence opposite Israel from Syria as well as Lebanon. They joined a comparable number of Hizballah militiamen fighting for the Bashar regime.  Debkafile adds that Israeli ground forces have entered Lebanon, and entered the Shebaa Farms area.  Recently, Iran flew thousands of Iranian Basij militia troops, which are guarding about 30 Syrian Shiite villages. The Israelis announced there will be an “exercise”, starting tomorrow.  Debkafile believes that is cover for a major Israeli operation.  Apparently, the shit has just hit the fan.
