Security officials have become increasingly concerned that Syria has provided Hizbollah with sophisticated ballistic missiles that could effectively target all of Israel.
The claim may be responsible for the Senate's hold on the appointment of the first US ambassador to Damascus in more than four years and has raised tensions in the already volatile region.
Although US officials contacted by The National could not completely confirm that such technology had been transferred to Hizbollah by Syria, one official privy to intelligence briefings confirmed a story previously reported in the Israeli press that in the weeks before Senator John Kerrys visit to Damascus on April 1, Israel almost bombed what it claimed was a convoy of advanced weaponry headed from Syrian military bases to Hizbollah along the shared border with Lebanon.
I cant promise you that planes were actually in the air, but it was close, very close, said the official. The White House had to talk them down from the attack and promised that Kerry would use strong language with the Syrian president, Bashar Assad.
When asked about the outcome of the meeting between Mr Kerry and Mr Assad on the issue, the source tartly responded: In light of where we are now, what do you think?

Thanks jhpigott.
It just might be Kerry’s job if Bo puts Hillary in Scotus as some have mentioned. Might account for his movements over sears of recent. We all know they will keep it in the family however they roll the positions in this administration But I don’t think Hillary will consider it..but stranger things have happened with these cruds.
"Well, ah, you know, sir, ah, you really shouldn't be doing that -- it's not nice."
Clearly Kerry went to Damascus to ensure the Iranians transferred the missiles successfully to Hizbullah - Mission Accomplished!!
