Sounds like Israel would be perfectly justified hitting staging areas within Syria for these transports. Why are we and Israel so timid about hitting Syria for its support of terrorists both in Lebanon and Iraq??? How many Americans have to die in order to preserve Syria's well-being??
Excellent.
Is that correct? Seems kind of small..
Assad is much better than a leader that would go along with Iran, so Israel is letting him get away with anything. /sarc

Syria is fully committed to expanding and improving its CW program, which it believes serves as a deterrent to regional adversaries. Syria continues active chemical munitions testing, although it has not used chemical agents in any conflicts. Although Syria is more self-sufficient than most other third-world CW capable states, foreign assistance has been a key element in the establishment and operation of Syria’s CW program. In particular, Syria remains heavily dependent on foreign sources for key elements of its chemical warfare program, including precursor chemicals and key production equipment. As a result Syria will need to continue foreign procurement activities—something the PSI is designed to counter—in order to continue its CW program. Syria is not a party to the Chemical Weapons Convention.
Biological
We believe that Syria is continuing to develop an offensive biological weapons capability. Syria has signed, but not ratified, the Biological Weapons Convention. These “poor man’s nuclear weapons” do not require a large production capability, and depending on the agent and dissemination method, can be extremely lethal.
Missiles
Syria has a combined total of several hundred Scud and SS-21 SRBMs, and is believed to have chemical warheads available for a portion of its Scud missile force. Syria has also developed a longer-range missile—the Scud D—with assistance from North Korea. Syria’s missiles are mobile and can reach much of Israel from positions near their peacetime garrisons and portions of Iraq, Jordan, and Turkey from launch sites well within the country. Damascus is pursuing both solid- and liquid-propellant missile programs and relies extensively on foreign assistance in these endeavors. North Korean and Iranian entities have been most prominent in aiding Syria’s recent ballistic missile development. Syrian regional concerns may lead Damascus to seek a longer range ballistic missile capability such as North Korea’s No Dong MRBM.

This is solid proof of Syria's involvement. Israel would be completely justified in attacking Syria now.
Syria may have to be punished, punished quite severely, I hope.
What Israel should do (and what the US should do more often) is just send weapons into Syria as well. The Kurd resistance for example could probably use some small missiles of their own.
The Iranian resistance should also get some really good weapons support from the US.
Tit for Tat.
If this report is true, it bodes for bigger problems. 20mm diameter is almost a whole inch, nearly as large as the hobby rocket I just built. That could be bad news if any get through!
Syria was continuing to smuggle arms into Lebanon to rearm the group,
Time to finish off those roads. Israel needs to completely destroy every road connecting Lebanon and Syria
I'll sleep better at night knowing this.

Hill, I've shot off bottle rockets bigger'n that
