Israeli Strike Destroyed Missiles More Powerful Than All Hezbollah’s Rockets Combined

[Jroc]

An unnamed senior Israeli security official told TIME magazine that Israel destroyed surface-to-surface missiles in a Hezbollah convoy, crossing from Syria into Lebanon on Monday, which were extremely dangerous because of their ability to carry very heavy warheads.

TIME wrote on Wednesday that the “Israeli official indicated they could carry warheads heavier and more dangerous than almost all of the tens of thousands of missiles and rockets Hezbollah now has pointed toward Israel.”

According to TIME, the strike was “the seventh known operation since the Syrian civil war began in 2011 and was an expression of Israel’s only clear policy regarding that deadly conflict: that it will not let Syria’s war become an opportunity for the militant group Hezbollah to improve its anti-Israeli arsenal.”

Israel has warned that it would strike four types of armaments coming into Lebanon: advanced air defense systems, including SA-17 batteries; highly accurate surface-to-surface missiles, such as the Iranian Fateh-110s; long-range land-to-sea missiles, similar to the Russian Yakhont hypersonic anti-ship missile; and chemical weapons. According to TIME, convoys in each of those categories have been targeted by Israel in the past year.

Looks like Assad wants the Israeli Air Force to pay him another visit.

Destroying advanced weapons heading towards a terrorist organization bent on destroying Israel is a threat to world peace?

Youre not the sharpest tool in the shed, are you?

Bi does not understand it is illegal, in Lebanon, for Hezbullah to have weapons. Only the army is supposed to be armed.
Since hezbullah is a proxy of Iran it is illegal to transfer weapons to them under UN and US sanctions.
Russia did not sell the weapons to syria so they could transfer them to a terrorist group. Sending them to the Lebanese border is illegal and they would become a threat to Israel, and Lebanon. Israel has a right to protect it's security.
They blew up the trucks before they crossed the Lebanese border, via a small road instead of taking them across at a main highway with a checkpoint. Obviously they did not have permits to legally take them to Lebanon.

Syrian air raids kill two in Lebanon border town

People check the house of Army officer Ismail after it was damaged in a rocket attack in Brital.

HERMEL, Lebanon: Syrian government air raids on the outskirts of Arsal killed a child and a teenager and wounded five Friday, as seven rockets were fired from Syria toward the Lebanese border town of Brital.

The Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria, a splinter Al-Qaeda Syrian rebel group, claimed responsibility for three of the rockets that hit Brital and surrounding areas, saying the group was targeting “the party of the devil’s stronghold,” a reference to Hezbollah. It is unclear who was behind the other four.

Brital is strongly associated with Hezbollah, which is fighting alongside regime forces in Syria, while Arsal is known for supporting the Syrian opposition.

Security sources said five missiles fired by Syrian regime aircraft hit a rugged and remote area in Khirbet Younin and Wadi Hmayyed on the edge of the northeastern town of Arsal at 9:15 a.m., causing no casualties.

Another missile hit the outskirts of the northeastern town close to the Syrian border around 2:40 p.m., Deputy Mayor Ahmad al-Fliti told The Daily Star.

“I think this will continue because it seems they [the Syrian regime] are preparing for something bigger,” Fliti said.

The afternoon attack killed an 11-year-old boy, Mohammad Mustafa Ramadan, and a 19-year-old woman, Narimane Ishaq, a security source said. The wounded were transferred to Al-Maydan Hospital in Lebanon.

Less than three hours after the morning air raid, seven rockets fired from Syria landed in Brital.

A little girl, whose name and age were not immediately disclosed, was lightly wounded by two of the rockets that slammed into the Brital neighborhood of Wadi Shalah. The attack also caused damage to several homes, including that of Army officer Abbas Ismail.

Another five rockets landed on the outskirts of Brital, the sources said.......
