The Syrian ruler Bashar Assad accused Israel Sunday of trying to "destabilize" his country. In his remarks on the reported Israeli air strike in Syria after meeting Iranian National Security Director Saeed Jalilee, Assad said that Syria was able to confront "current threats... and aggression."
Syrian ruler Assad has ordered the resumption of weapons transfers to the Lebanese Hizballah. This was agreed with Iran’s National Security Director Saeed Jalilee, who arrived in Damascus after Israel’s air strike last Wednesday on the Jamraya military complex north of Damascus.
Assad assured the Iranian official that he would not be deterred by what he called acts of “aggression.” It was up to Syria and Iran to put their heads together to find a safe method of getting the hardware across to Hizbollah without exposing it to Israeli attack in truck convoys on the open road.
Jalilee is in Damascus to discuss with Syrians and Hizballah how to activate against Israel the secret mutual defense pact binding Iran, Syria, Hizbollah and Hamas. Israel has imposed a no-fly zone over a buffer zone straddling the Syrian-Lebanese border and placed it under the control of its air force.
Israeli officials have been warning for months that the IDF will not allow the transfer of advanced Syrian weapons, including chemical and biological weapons, to terrorist groups such as Al-Qaeda affiliated Al-Nusra Front and Hezbollah.
Ehud Barak told the Munich security conference Sunday “…what happened in Syria several days ago… that’s proof that when we said something we mean it… and we say that we don’t think it should be allowed to bring advanced weapons systems into Lebanon.”
Israel’s actions were taken because transfers of advanced weapons and chemical and biological weapons were expressly prohibited under UN Security Council Resolution 1701 which ended the Israeli-Hizballah war in 2006.
