This could get even more interesting.

Intercepting a missile shipment from Syria?

Who is removing land mines?

[AmericaUnited]

They did this about two weeks ago. Yawn... Goofy bluff by boy Assad.

Cease fire in Lebanon means moving the front to the Golan Heights?

Apparently there is some unusual activity taking place on the Israeli/Syrian border.

Syria still transferring supply of rockets, missiles to Hezbollah

http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/749692.html


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.

[BigFinn]

Hint.

[cripplecreek]

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.

[msnimje]

Not up on the Syrian Government Website? :`)

[DannyTN]

So maybe the U.S. should do a little mine clearing on the Syrian border.

[maquiladora]

Did Fox mention where this came from? Nothing on the wires or in local Israeli news sources I can see.

We could see Isaiah 17 come to pass in this conflict yet.

[HawaiianGecko]

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

Probably not on their site because they first reported it in the evening on August 9th.  Here is just one of many blog entries referring to it.

Sirens ringing in Golan Heights-Syrians removing landmines?

---

The female reporter (can't remember her name) on Fox's Shepard Smith show said that Syria is reportedly removing land mines along their border with Israel. She went on to explain why this was not a good sign. No link, but maybe someone else heard it too.

unusual activity on Syrian border in the Golan Heights

A car chase?

[hershey]

Well, Syria thinks Israel and the US just blinked.

[MinorityRepublican]

Syria won't go into a conventional war with Israel, especially if they are winning through their proxy, Hezbollah.

If Gopher goes for the Golan, he's not going to live long enough to ask Captain Stubbing for his old job back on the Love Boat.

[redgolum]

Any more info?

Been hearing rumblings for weeks. It is about 22:00 hours there right?

[mainepatsfan]

Fox just repeated the story. Jennifer Griffith now reporting it.
