there is more and more chatter from a lot of different sources of some limited exchange of fire by Syrian and Israeli sources, one big incident might just bring down the whole house
let's get it on. maybe a move by Syria will force Israel to commit some heavy assets to this effort.
The Israel-drone across the Syrian border story is fairly old...at least 10 hours...also recall the claim that Hezbollah has attacked another Israeli ship...not sure what's going on here.

Syria planned this as well... they've also had plenty of visits back and forth. They have WMD.
You're right...

Syria stands to gain from Lebanon's pain
Hizbullah's stock is rising among the Arab public, and the Syrian regime is making the most of it, reports Brian Whitaker from Damascus

Ultimately, the Damascus regime may emerge as the war's real winner, but the stakes are high and so are the risks, especially the risk of being drawn into direct conflict with Israel. In the last few days, Israeli warplanes have been probing Syrian airspace and Syrian forces responded - as they always do in such a situation - with anti-aircraft fire.
A week ago Syria quietly raised its military alert to the highest level and cancelled all leave. All units are at full strength, contingency plans are in place, and troops and equipment have been dispersed in what one diplomat called a defensive posture.
"They are being very careful not to be provocative," the diplomat said, though he thought there was still a 20% to 30% chance that unforeseen events might drag Syria into the war.
