| Syrian state TV announced today that President Bashar al-Assad was activating Palestinian groups to retaliate against Israel. Al-Ikhbariya announced that the government had given a green light to Palestinian groups to conduct “operations” against Israeli targets on the Golan Heights. Hezbollah-linked media, meanwhile, reported that Lebanon and Syria had established “popular committees” ready to fight Israel in the region. The Kuwaiti daily newspaper Al Rai, quoting sources close to Assad, reported that the Syrian leader had used Russian backchannels to tell the Israelis that Damascus would react if Israel struck Syria again. Syria, they said, would consider any such act a declaration of war and would contemplate firing surface-to-surface and surface-to-air missiles at Israel. Syrian sources told a range of media outlets that Damascus had deployed missile batteries aimed at Israel that could respond to any further Israeli actions. |

| #6 TOPIX > [Arutz Sheva] ASSAD: ATTACKS ARE PROOF ISRAEL SUPPORTS REBELS. NO surprise here - IMO, in Syria view iff the US is going to arm the anti-Assad Rebels e.g. FSA, + Israel is going to attack Syrian-controlled targets, then by definition the US is for The Rebels + intervening anti-Assad foreign Militant groups e.g. AL-QAEDA + AFFILIATES [Al-Nusra Front]. FYI ditto as per HEZBOLLAH whom accuses Israel of supporting Sunni Rebels vee its air strike. and * SAME > [JPost] US PRESIDENT SAYS DECISIONS MUST BE BASED ON HARD ANALYSIS. * SAME > [Daily World] PALESTINIAN GROUP [PFLP-GC] SAYS SYRIA OK'S [independent] ATTACKS AGZ ISRAEL. |

| #5 If Assad makes a move, ie activates Hezbollah he will need the okay from Tehran. Israel is ready for a fight with these guys and will crush the Hez'es. Then they will occupy a major portion of southern Lebanon for a long, long time and no blue helmets need apply. Where this leaves the Druze I have no idea. |

| #3 President Bashar al-Assad was activating Palestinian groups to retaliate against Israel. What is Arabic for "Hey, let's you and him fight!"? Let's face it - the last thing PencilNeck needs now is yet another front to fight on. And when it comes to pointless violence, the Paleos are your go-to guys. Bashir looks tough, the Paleos get their ass kicked and a lot of hardware destined for Hezbollah gets destroyed. It's a win-win-win. |
