Syria still transferring supply of rockets, missiles to Hezbollah

Syria continues its efforts to transfer large quantities of war materiel, including rockets, to Lebanon, in an effort to assist Hezbollah in its war against Israel, a senior Israel Defense Forces source told Haaretz on Saturday.
According to the IDF source, the air force has succeeded in partially stemming the arms transfers, but intelligence shows that supply convoys have managed to cross into Lebanon from Syria.
Senior Syrian army and intelligence officers are involved in the arms smuggling, according to the senior IDF source, who says it is unlikely this continues without the explicit support of the regime in Damascus.
Two specific types of weapons - anti-tank missiles and rockets used to target Israeli civilians - are of concern.
The alert levels of the Syrian army, especially on the Golan Heights, is at its highest levels since the Lebanon War in 1982. The Syrian preparedness is mostly defensive, but the IDF is not excluding the possibility that Damascus will initiate a limited ground operation during the closing stages of the war.
Soooooo... Does this mean the ceasefire is still on? Olmert going to stand down and recall the IDF?
I ask this seriously.
Israel will have to stand alone in this. Rice has turned into Neville Chamberlin, so they can't count on her. UN will side with Hezz/Lebanon. Media are pro-Hezz.
Does Israel have the courage to tell the UN to stuff it and wipe out Hezz once and for all? Do they get rid of Olmert the Dove and get someone committed to total victory (like Bibi)?
I'm sad to say, Israel may cave-in...
