Syria is providing Hizbullah terrorists in Lebanon with the Scud missiles that traumatized Israel in the 1991 Gulf War, and a "Scud Crisis" is threatening to ignite an all-out war between Israel and Hizbullah, the Kuwaiti al-Rai newspaper reported.
Israel reportedly sent warnings it would bomb Lebanese and Syrian targets if the long-range missiles cross the border into Lebanon. There are conflicting reports on whether several Scud missiles already have been delivered to Hizbullah terrorists. Despite the almost invisible line between Lebanese armed forces and Hizbullah, the Obama administration has shipped weapons to the Beirut-based government, which is heavily dominated by Syrian interests.

1”Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city;
And it will be a ruinous heap. NKJV
2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken;
They will be for flocks which lie down,
and no one will make them afraid.
3 The fortress also will cease from Ephraim,
The kingdom from Damascus,
And the remnant of Syria;
They will be as the glory of the children of Israel,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
4 “In that day it shall come to pass
That the glory of Jacob will wane,
And the fatness of his flesh grow lean.
5 It shall be as when the harvester gathers the grain,
And reaps the heads with his arm;
It shall be as he who gathers heads of grain
In the Valley of Rephaim.
6 Yet gleaning grapes will be left in it,
Like the shaking of an olive tree,
Two or three olives at the top of the uppermost bough,
Four or five in its most fruitful branches,”
Says the Lord God of Israel.
7 In that day a man will look to his Maker,
And his eyes will have respect for the Holy One of Israel.
8 He will not look to the altars, The work of his hands;
He will not respect what his fingers have made,
Nor the wooden images nor the incense altars.
9 In that day his strong cities will be as a forsaken bough
And an uppermost branch,
Which they left because of the children of Israel;
And there will be desolation.
10 Because you have forgotten the God of your salvation,
And have not been mindful of the Rock of your stronghold,
Therefore you will plant pleasant plants
And set out foreign seedlings;
11 In the day you will make your plant to grow,
And in the morning you will make your seed to flourish;
But the harvest will be a heap of ruins
In the day of grief and desperate sorrow.
12 Woe to the multitude of many people
Who make a noise like the roar of the seas,
And to the rushing of nations
That make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!
13 The nations will rush like the rushing of many waters;
But God will rebuke them and they will flee far away,
And be chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind,
Like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.
14 Then behold, at eventide, trouble!
And before the morning, he is no more.
This is the portion of those who plunder us,
And the lot of those who rob us.
- Isaiah chapter 17 NKJB
AMEN
A missile as large as a scud should be easy to track from the air during the delivery. Are we still giving Israel satellite intel, or has that stopped with the current Muslim loving regime?
Another insightful article over at LebanonNow that illustrates the gravity of the situation -
here is a snippet:
“This development has quietly set off a seemingly heated discussion in Washington. Capitol Hill is not amused, and according to two reports, the confirmation of Robert Ford as ambassador to Syria has been placed on hold. The incident reportedly has led to the State Department’s summoning of Syria’s ambassador, Imad Mustapha, to relay to him a message about the severity of the situation. Reportedly, the Israeli government warned the United States that the transfer of such weaponry could lead to conflict with Syria.”

Peres is the weakest PM ever to rule Israel since it’s modern inception.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
..................
Amen. Incredible. Like It was Written this MORNING.
Peres is responsible for Israel’s acquiring nuclear weapons.
Do not undersell him.
Israel Pushes New Satellite as Solution to U.S. Space Radar Needs
Whatever Peres’ past achievements, they pale in comparison to his treason against Israel. If Peres had his way, Jerusalem would be partitioned, the Golan returned to Syria, the settlements entirely removed from the West Bank and the nation left prostrate before its enemies. Never forget that Benedict Arnold was a patriot who fought successfully for America before he sold out to the British.
