#1 Let's see, Israel has two spy satellites up right now, including one that's a Radar Imaging Satellite. No need to "violate airspace" to see what's going on. Plus there are several other nations, many with treaty agreements with Israel (the US, India, etc.) who also have dozens of capabilities for detecting Syrian perfidity without "violating airspace". We've seen Iranian 107mm rockets being launched from the Tripoli Palestinian refuge camp by Fatr-al-Islam against Lebanese civilians. We've seen IEDs, unheard of until recently, and promoted heavily by Iran, striking the UN ~~hostage~~"peacekeeper" force in southern Lebanon. Syria's suddenly making all sorts of assinine claims about the Golan, and threatening military action there. All in all, it seems that Syria is screaming, "Hit Me!" for everyone to hear. "Someone" needs to take them up on it.

#2 I don't think the Syrian government is doing the smuggling. They pay civilians to do that type of work ... with Iranian money.
