Arutz Sheva - Israel News Network ^ | 7/13/06

Posted on 07/13/2006 12:11:34 PM PDT by areafiftyone

(IsraelNN.com) Thousands of tourists and foreign employees are fleeing to Syria as Israel tightens a sea and land blockade on Lebanon. Syrian officials said they have relaxed border inspections in order to speed up procedures.

Israel hit the Beirut international airport for at least the second time Thursday night in an effort to close off all air traffic. Government officials said they have substantiated information that Hizbullah terrorists are trying to take the two abducted IDF soldiers to Iran.

I'm sure that's the plan. I was kind of wondering how Israel's intelligence services were able to keep tabs on them.

Oli North said today, "If you are in Damascus, be worried, be very worried."
