Israel Says to Strike Hizbullah in Syria if Golan Threatened
[An Nahar] Israel is ready to launch a military operation in Syria against Leb's Hizbullah... Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistanceand purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... and its allies should a real threat to Israel arise there, Israeli Ambassador to Russia Gary Koren has said. "The Iranian regime has always been keen on supporting Syria and Hizbullah and exploiting them as two tools aimed at threatening and deterring Israel," Koren was quoted as telling a group of Russian news hounds. "Our territory is being subjected to deliberate or non-deliberate shelling with all types of weapons and our army is retaliating and not standing idly by. However, we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by... should the situation change and Hizbullah or any other Shiite militia or Iran start to amass a second front at the Golan Heights, we will not tolerate that and we will respond as quickly as possible," the envoy added.
