Just saw on Fox that the IDF is monitoring unusual activity on Syrian border in the Golan Heights...tanks there, they are removing land mines at the border...not up on their website yet
Intercepting a missile shipment from Syria?
Who is removing land mines?
They did this about two weeks ago. Yawn... Goofy bluff by boy Assad.
I wasn't clear enough in my rush to get this up, I think. The tanks are Syrian and the Syrians are clearing the mines -- trying to take the Golan back?
Cease fire in Lebanon means moving the front to the Golan Heights?
Oh I'd love to see them try.
Apparently there is some unusual activity taking place on the Israeli/Syrian border.
Okay, thanks. I mean, not okay. This is not cool at all.
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.
Unusual activity? What a cease fire is actually taking place.
They've been mentioning it for a week but without some kind of confirmation they can't really make much of a story out of it.
Sounds like Syrians are massing tanks, and removing their own land mines. The first step in an armored assault is to remove your own anti-tank defenses, to clear the way for your advancing armor.
If this report is true, it is not good.
If this is true it means Tehran is ready to really crank things up.
Wouldn't it be cool if earth.google.com were LIVE?! I "flew" to that area once and it helped me understand the geography so much better! It's like having a helicopter and a jet all in one, and a hangglider if you go real slow!
They don't have to worry about their own media leaking their military secrets.
The question is who will get the blame. We all know the answer.
