Israel is worried Hezbollah will obtain sophisticated Syrian weapons

Share:

Putin NetanyahuIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed concern to Russia’s president that sophisticated weapons from Syria and Iraq could end up in the hands of the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, a close ally of the Syrian government.

Netanyahu was in Moscow Thursday to meet with President Vladimir Putin, a staunch backer of the Syrian government. Like Russia, Hezbollah has been supporting Syria militarily.

Netanyahu said in televised remarks during his meeting with Putin that Israel fears the opening of yet another “front of terror” in the Golan Heights if Hezbollah obtains sophistical weapons from Syria.

Israel captured the Golan from Syria in the 1967 Mideast war and annexed it in 1981. An Israeli withdrawal was long seen as a key to any Israel-Syria peace agreement.

  1. Russia will not stand in the way of Israel whacking Hezb/Iran in Syria. They have openly done so over a dozen times during the Syria civil war. Why would Israel give up the Golans to an enemy that will instantly use that area to attack you.
    Go ahead and try, set up your Hezb/IRGC/targets in Golan area and see what happens. Just remember, Iran is playing on the Israeli boarder, not the other way around.

      “Syria civil war”, are you a singled-celled brain moron? Syrian people are not fighting each other. Syria is in fight foreign terrorists invading the country.

          ISIL and Nusra Al-Qaeda are Syrian? Christians Syrian are fighting their Muslim brothers? The only pigs who decided to take arms and fight against all others are the traitors “kurds”. Indeed you are a moron, and your brainwashing country is a joke.

          1. You are partly right about my brainwashed country is a joke, especially the Kanzlerin taking some million of ‘Syrian’ refugees.

            I presume that you will be happy if we deport them back to Syria, wouldn’t you?

    You are always worried and living in fear. You must have picked the wrong spot on earth.

      How many Arabs are living in fear of their fellow Arabs? It seems the Arabs can’t find a good spot on earth with themselves.

          Strap on a Toga and sandals then drink apricot nectar. Perhaps some one will make a painting of you and Socrates.

            Sounds nice … as long as he’s got his arm around me, and Hind does the painting. 😉
            Apricot ice-cream south of Tripoli was very nice too.
