      <description>What goes around comes around, let see if Israel can fight off guerrilla infiltrations. Are Israelis willing to blow up their cities like we did?
 
Israel has lodged a complaint to the United Nations force in the region following the firing on an Israeli patrol last night.
 

Sunday Times says 
Assad regime puts advanced surface-to-surface Tishreen missiles on 
standby with orders to hit Tel Aviv should Israel launch another 
airstrike. Expert: Missiles 'extremely accurate' and can cause 'serious 
harm'.

The Tishreen, also known as the M-600, is the Syrian version of Iran's 
Fateh-110 missile. Damascus is thought to possess a large stockpile of 
the missiles, which can travel over 200 kilometers and carry up to a 
half-ton payload, according to the Sunday Times report.</description>

      <description>How do you say 'Quagmire' in Farsi?   

 By THANASSIS CAMBANIS, May 2013, Foreign Policy Magazine 

ARSAL, Lebanon  - For more than a year, leaders in Lebanon have anxiously eyed the murderous civil war in Syria, wondering whether it would leap across the border and engulf the small, fractious country. And yet, it is Lebanon that now has jumped decisively into the fray, with Hezbollah's help  apparently crucial to the Syrian regime 's strategy and survival.

Uniformed Hezbollah fighters openly patrol the northern reaches of Lebanon's Beqaa Valley, fighting on either side of the increasingly porous border with Syria. Rocket and mortar teams target Free Syrian Army (FSA) fighters a few miles away, and Lebanese Hezbollah infantry fighters crisscross the &quot;Shiite villages&quot; surrounding the city of Qusayr just across the border in Syria, which now forms one of the pivot points of the conflict.

The fighting around Qusayr has brought into the open the parlor game over whether Iran and Hezbollah are active combatants in Syria's war. In an April 30 speech, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah hinted at greater involvement from the Lebanese paramilitary group in Syria, warning that the regime had &quot;real friends&quot; who would prevent Syria from &quot;fall  into the hands&quot; of the United States and Israel. 

The thunder of artillery fire in the mountains flanking the Beqaa Valley, like the spate of no-longer-hidden Hezbollah  funerals , make clear that Hezbollah and its Iranian sponsors have crossed a Rubicon. They are now fully vested factions in the Syrian civil war, and they're committed to an open and escalating fight.

Not 20 miles   from Hezbollah's position as the crow flies, FSA fighters flee across the border to the Sunni village of Arsal, nestled north in the Beqaa Valley in the mountains separating Lebanon and Syria. They make no distinction between the Syrian army, Hezbollah, and Iran -- because, they say, they get shot at by all three.

&quot;We could have common interests with Hezbollah, but they're attacking us. Now there are grudges, which we will have to settle after the war,&quot; said Shehadeh Ahmed Sheikh, 24, a self-described mortar man in the FSA. He was sitting cross-legged on the floor of an unfinished home in Arsal. Sheikh had brought with him 16 members of his extended family after their house in Qusayr had been destroyed earlier that week; as we talked, they squatted around him in the dwelling, which they had been assigned to by Arsal's mayor.

Like many Sunnis in the area, he referred to Hezbollah, whose name means &quot;the Party of God&quot; in Arabic, as Hezb al-Shaitan -- &quot;the Party of Satan.&quot;

By supporting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to the hilt, Hezbollah and Iran are risking their hard-won reputation as stewards of an anti-Israel and anti-U.S. alliance that transcends sect and nationality. Syrian combatants increasingly understand the war in sectarian terms: On one side there is the Sunni majority; on the other side, other sects and a small group of Sunnis that have made common cause with the Alawite regime.

Western   diplomats estimate that a few thousand Hezbollah fighters are involved in the Syrian fighting. Close observers of the group, which carefully guards its operational structure, say that they mistrust any precise numbers. But if Hezbollah has sent hundreds, or even a few thousand, of its best-trained fighters to Syria, that deployment certainly represents a significant percentage of its fighting force. During its 2006 war with Israel, the highest estimate of Hezbollah fighters killed was about 700, with the group's own official death toll closer to 300.

Sunnis are increasingly framing the conflict as a sectarian jihad. The influential Lebanese Salafi cleric Ahmad Al-Assir  has set up his own militia , suggesting his fighters would be just as willing to confront Hezbollah in Lebanon as they already are to travel to Syria to fight alongside the rebels there. Supporters of the regime and Hezbollah point out that the rebellion tolerates Sunni fundamentalist extremists whereas Assad and Hezbollah rely on a time-tested alliance of minorities, including Alawites, Christians, Druze, and Shiite Muslims. The propaganda of both sides has sharpened a narrative of the Syrian conflict as a struggle between Sunni extremists and old-style authoritarians, who at least protect the minorities they exploit. Deadly identity politics have taken root, and people on both sides of the conflict see it more and more as a matter of survival. Sheikh, the young Sunni fighter, planned to return to battle as soon as he settled his family: &quot;We cannot go back to the way things were before&quot;

On the eve of the uprisings just three short years ago, many Arab analysts observed half-jokingly that the most influential state in the Arab world wasn't Arab at all -- it was Iran, awash in oil revenues and ready to lavish cash on a region in the throes of an increasingly hot Sunni-Shiite cold war. Sunni monarchs and dictators fretted about a &quot;Shiite Crescent&quot; linking Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Hezbollah. Tehran, for its part, strutted triumphantly across the Arab stage, bragging about an unstoppable &quot;Axis of Resistance&quot; oiled with ideological fervor and the supreme leader's bank account.

What a difference a few uprisings can make. Today, Iran's involvement in Syria has all the makings of a quagmire, and certainly represents the Islamic Republic's biggest strategic setback in the region since its war with Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein ended in 1988. Syria's conflict has begun to attract so much attention and resources that it threatens to end the era when Iran could nimbly outmaneuver the slow-moving American behemoth in the Middle East. 

Iran -- already reeling from sanctions -- is spending hundreds of millions of dollars propping up Bashar al-Assad's regime. In the murky arena of  sub rosa  foreign intervention, it's impossible to keep a detailed count of the dollars, guns, and operatives the Islamic Republic has dispatched to Syria. Westerners and Arab officials who have met in recent months with Syrian government ministers say that Iranian advisers are retooling key ministries to provide copious military training, including to the newly established citizen militias in regime-controlled areas of Syria. &quot;We back Syria,&quot; Iranian General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan  reiterated  on May 5. &quot;If there is need for training we will provide them with the training.&quot;

In   private meetings, Iranian diplomats in the region project insouciance, suggesting that the Islamic Republic can indefinitely sustain its military and financial aid to the Assad regime. To be sure, its burden today is probably bearable. But as sanctions squeeze Iran and it comes under increasing pressure over its nuclear program, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) might find the investment harder to sustain. The conflict shows no signs of ending, and as foreign aid to the rebels escalates, Iran will have to pour in more and more resources simply to maintain a stalemate. If this is Iran's Vietnam, we're only beginning year three.

The cost of Tehran's support of Assad can't entirely be measured in dollars. Iran has had to sacrifice most of its other Arab allies on the Syrian altar. As the violence worsened, Hamas gave up its home in Damascus and its warm relationship with Tehran. Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood-dominated government has also adopted a scolding tone toward Iran on Syria. On Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy's first visit to Tehran, he took the opportunity  to blast  the &quot;oppressive regime&quot; in Damascus, saying it was an &quot;ethical duty&quot; to support the opposition.

Gone are the days when Iran held the mantle of popular resistance. Popular Arab movements, including Syria's own rebels, now have the momentum and air of authenticity. Iran's mullahs finally look to the Arab near-abroad as they long have appeared at home -- repressive, authoritarian, and fierce defenders of the status quo.&quot;

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Iran's commitment to Assad has put the crown jewel of its assets in the Arab world, Hezbollah, in danger. Just a few years ago, a survey  found  that Nasrallah was the most popular leader in the Arab world. Along with other members of the &quot;resistance axis,&quot; Hezbollah mocked the rest of the Arab world's political movements as toadies and collaborators, happy to submit to American-Israeli hegemony. Today, however, it has sacrificed this popular support and enraged Sunnis across the Arab world by siding with a merciless dictator. 

Hezbollah used to try to cultivate allies from all sects, so that it wouldn't seem to be pursuing a purely Shiite agenda, but it now appears in the eyes of the Arab world to have cast its lot -- hook, line, and sinker -- with a brutal minority regime in Syria over a popular, largely Islamist movement. A Pew  survey  last year found that the group's popularity was declining in predominantly Sunni countries such as Egypt and Jordan, while Lebanese Sunnis and Christians also increasingly soured on the party.

In the border town of Hermel, usually secretive Hezbollah fighters have openly mobilized. They fight on both sides of the border, protecting a ring of Shiite villages in Syria that connect Damascus to the Alawite heartland. An untold number of Hezbollah fighters have been killed in Syria -- so many that the movement has stopped keeping the  funerals  secret and has even released videos of some of the martyrs. &quot;We bury our martyrs in the open,&quot; Nasrallah said in his recent speech. &quot;We are not ashamed of them.&quot; 

Hezbollah positions in Hermel were shelled on May 12, and the Sunni jihadist Nusra Front reportedly  claimed responsibility . In their rhetoric, Lebanese politicians have sought to downplay the sectarian nature of the fight in Syria, and there are plenty of individuals who say they have chosen sides out of interest or ideology, rather than sect. Yet to most of its participants, the conflict has taken on an undeniably sectarian hue: an almost entirely Sunni rebellion, against a regime supported by the majority of Syria's other sects. 

&quot;There's no difference between Hezbollah, the army, and the Syrian regime,&quot; scoffed Mustafa Ezzedine, a driver in Arsal who was recently dragged into the conflict as a literal hostage, kidnapped because he was a Sunni Muslim by a Shiite clan that wanted one of its own kidnapped members released. It doesn't matter that among his guests at a recent, lazy hashish-fueled afternoon tea was a member of that same rival clan: sectarian politics have little regard for personal views. For residents of the Beqaa Valley, the war in Syria has already drifted across the border, and they fear it could get worse quickly. 

The regional stakes are high as well. On at least one occasion, the Syrian conflict has cost an Iranian military commander his life. In mid-February, a shadowy IRGC officer responsible for overseeing Iranian reconstruction projects in Lebanon who went by the names Hessam Khoshnevis and Hassan Shateri was  killed  on the road from Damascus to Beirut. Iran put out the story that Israel assassinated their man, but Western and Arab officials told me they had seen reliable intelligence reports that it was a Syrian rebel ambush. 

A who's who of Lebanese politicians paid condolences at the Iranian embassy, and Hezbollah's number two, Naim Qassem, delivered a long tribute to the fallen IRGC offer at a memorial service in an underground theater in Beirut's Hezbollah-controlled southern suburbs. It was the latest sign that Hezbollah is willing to risk everything in supporting the Syrian dictator -- and that Iran just may ask its Lebanese ally to fight to the end, or go down with the ship. 

&quot;We would be nothing without Iran!&quot; Qassem thundered in his tribute. &quot;Others hide the foreign funds they receive. We proudly open our hands to Iran's gifts. What the resistance needs, they provide.&quot;

      <title>European Union Directly Funds Al Qaeda Looting of Syrian oil !</title>

      <description>Looting of Syrian oil by European Union!

  
  
     
       
By  Johannes Stern 
              
Global Research, May 20, 2013
  
  
  
  
  
  
  





            	 









                
    
    According to a report yesterday in Britain's Guardian 
newspaper, the European Union (EU) is directly funding US-backed Sunni 
Islamist terrorist groups fighting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's 
regime. These groups are looting oil in parts of eastern Syria that they
 control and then re-selling it to EU countries at rock-bottom prices.
The  Guardian  writes:


&quot;The EU decision to lift Syrian oil sanctions to aid the 
opposition has accelerated a scramble for control over wells and 
pipelines in rebel-held areas and helped consolidate the grip of 
jihadist groups over the country's key resources.&quot;
According to the  Guardian , the main beneficiaries of the 
EU's lifting of sanctions are the Al Nusra Front and similar Islamist 
terrorist groups. &quot;Jabhat al-Nusra, affiliated with Al Qaeda and other 
extreme Islamist groups, control the majority of the oil wells in Deir 
Ezzor province, displacing local Sunni tribes, sometimes by force. They 
have also seized control of other fields from Kurdish groups further to 
the north-east, in al-Hasakah governorate.&quot;
The EU's decision to resume trade with oil fields held by Al Nusra 
explodes the lie that the imperialist powers are waging war in Syria to 
change the repressive character of the Syrian regime. In fact, they are 
building up and backing deeply reactionary and oppressive forces.
These events also expose the so-called &quot;war on terror&quot;-the claim that
 Washington and the EU are fighting Al Qaeda, which served as the 
justification for US-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan-as a lie. 
Imperialism is arming and financing Al Qaeda-linked terrorist groups 
that commit terrible crimes against the Syrian population, handing over 
its wealth to the EU and Washington.
Germany's  Spiegel Online  magazine recently reported how the 
Islamists dump Syrian oil on world markets at ultra-low prices: &quot;Since 
February the Islamist rebel group Liwa al-Islam has controlled the 
al-Thaura oil-field in the ar-Raqqah governorate... The rebels in 
al-Thaura sell ten fuel truck cargos each day. They make good money and 
charge around $13 US for a barrel. On the world market, however, a 
barrel is traded for $100 US, but this is not of particular interest 
here.&quot;
Abu Saif, an Islamist fighter of the Muslim Brotherhood-linked Ahrar 
Brigade, gives another account of how Islamists militias loot Syria: 
&quot;Jabhat al-Nusra is investing in the Syrian economy to reinforce its 
position in Syria and Iraq. Al-Nusra fighters are selling everything 
that falls into their hands from wheat, archaeological relics, factory 
eq uipment, oil drilling and imaging machines, cars, spare parts and 
crude oil.&quot;
To secure the oil, the terrorists murder everyone who gets in their 
way. In one widely reported case, Al Nusra fighters levelled the village
 of al-Musareb near Deir Ezzor, murdering 50 of its residents after a 
conflict with local tribesmen over an oil tanker. The mass killings 
through which terrorist groups control the territory needed to supply 
oil to European imperialism are documented in videos posted on YouTube.
The imperialist powers rely on terrorist groups as part of their 
strategy to control the vast energy resources of the Middle East and 
Central Asia. This fundamental interest underlies the wars against 
Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, and on-going war preparations against 
Shiite Iran-to which the Alawite-dominated Assad regime has close ties. 
Like Syria, Iran has long been on imperialism's hit list,&quot; since 
Washington and its European and Middle Eastern allies see it as one of 
the main obstacles to controlling the oil trade of the Persian Gulf, and
 thus of the entire world.
This rape of Syria exposes the cynical decision by middle class 
pseudo-left organizations-such as the International Socialist 
Organization (ISO), the German Left Party, the New Anti-Capitalist Party
 (NPA) in France, and the Socialist Workers Party (SWP) in Britain-to 
package the Syrian war as a &quot;revolution.&quot; Their class position emerges 
clearly in this point: they hail the looting of Syrian oil to boost the 
oil corporations' profit margins as a &quot;revolution,&quot; and the looters as 
&quot;revolutionaries.&quot;
Increasing foreign support for the Sunni Islamist forces is 
accompanied by new threats by US imperialism and its allies to oust 
Assad, and increasing preparations for direct military intervention.
At a press conference with Turkish Prime Minister Reccep Tayyip 
Erdogan last Thursday in Washington, US President Barack Obama promised 
&quot;to keep increasing the pressure on the Assad regime and working with 
the Syrian opposition. We both agree that Assad needs to go.&quot;
On Friday, CIA chief John Brennan met with Israeli Prime Minister 
Benjamin Netanyahu, Defence Minister Moshe Ya'alon, Israel Defence 
Forces Chief of Staff Benny Gantz, and Mossad head Tamir Pardo to 
discuss Syria. In a cabinet meeting the next day, Netanyahu threatened 
more Israeli air strikes against Syria, saying Israel would act &quot;with 
determination... to ensure the supreme interest of the State of Israel 
  prevent the transfer of advanced weapons to Hezbollah and to 
  terrorist elements&quot;.
Israel has already bombed Damascus two weeks ago, ostensibly to 
prevent arms being transferred from Syria to Hezbollah. The Lebanese 
Shia militia is a close ally of Syria and Iran and regarded as a main 
obstacle to Israeli military dominance in the Near East.
On Saturday Syrian president Bashar al-Assad gave an interview to the Argentine newspaper  Clarin  and the Argentine state news agency  Telam ,
 from his palace in the Syrian capital, Damascus. He vowed to keep 
power, accusing Israel and other &quot;foreign powers&quot; of supporting the 
Islamist opposition. &quot;Israel is directly supporting the terrorist groups
 in two ways, firstly it gives them logistical support, and it also 
tells them what sites to attack and how to attack them,&quot; he said.
He denied that his government had used chemical weapons, saying that 
&quot;the West&quot; might orchestrate an intervention based on false accusations:
 &quot;The West lies and falsifies evidence to engineer wars; it is a habit 
of theirs.&quot;
He called intervention &quot;a clear probability, especially after we've 
managed to beat back armed groups in many areas of Syria.&quot; However, he 
added that &quot;we are willing to talk to anyone who wants to talk, without 
exception.&quot;
Assad made clear that he hopes to keep power by convincing Washington
 that he is a stronger and more reliable custodian of US interests in 
the region than Al Qaeda: &quot;America is pragmatic. If they found out they 
were defeated and the regime is the winner, the Americans will deal with
 the facts.&quot;
This subservience to Washington exposes the bankruptcy of Arab nationalism. In fact, as the  Guardian 
 report makes clear, Washington and its European imperialist allies are 
funding and backing the Islamist opposition to break up the Syrian 
regime.
The Obama administration is also increasing its efforts to reach an 
agreement with Moscow, Syria's main ally. Last weekend, Russian Foreign 
Minister Sergei Lavrov agreed with his American counterpart John Kerry 
to set up a so-called &quot;peace conference&quot; in June, supposedly to 
negotiate an end to the Syrian war. During such a conference, Washington
 would press for a &quot;negotiated&quot; ouster of Assad and his replacement with
 a more pliable stooge regime approved by Moscow.
Lavrov is also trying to calm US and Israeli concerns about potential
 Russian missile sales to Syria. He stressed that these weapons would 
&quot;not in any way alter the balance of forces in this region or give any 
advantage in the fight against the opposition.&quot;
Russia is reportedly only supplying SS-N-26 coastal defense but not 
SA-21 air defense missiles, as part of a weapons deal already concluded 
in 2011. Lavrov also pledged that Russia would not sign any new deals 
with Syria.</description>

      <title>Cubs Fan Showcases Tremendous Hands While Reeling In Dangerous Foul Ball</title>

      <description>No beers were sacrificed in the attempt to catch this foul ball, but that's not to say there were no substantial risks involved. In fact, I would confidently say the Cubs fan seated front row in the upper deck at Wrigley Field on Saturday afternoon was willing to put a whole lot more than a beverage on the line to reel in a souvenir.

Fortunately for him, he had two big things working in his favor as he leaned precariously over the railing with Ike Davis' foul ball slicing in his direction.

The first would be his tremendous balance, as he managed to keep himself steady while extending his arms as far as they would go.

The second are his exceptional hands.

Seriously. That was all about the hands. Even Keith Hernandez, a Gold Glove first baseman in his day who knows how important soft hands are in fielding a baseball, was impressed by how easily the fan was able to snatch the baseball and secure it from that position. And Keith doesn't impress easy, folks, so that's a pretty solid endorsement.

I'll throw my own endorsement in there as well. It was a terrific play. But I'll once again add that bringing a glove to the ballpark it still the best way to go.

Also, kids, if you're reading, don't try copycatting that play at your local stadium or anywhere else. It's far too dangerous and not worth the risk for a baseball. If there's a railing in place, it's there for a reason.</description>

      <title>Hofstra student killed by police.</title>

Nassau County police said the Hofstra University student killed 
during a home invasion robbery was the victim of friendly fire from an 
officer.
According to the New York Post, the officer who fired the accidental 
fatal shot is highly decorated and exchanged gunfire with suspect, 
30-year-old Dalton Smith.
21-year-old Andrea Rebello of Tarrytown, was shot in the head and died.


During a Saturday night press conference, Nassau County Det. Lt. John
 Azzata said the officer fired eight rounds.  Seven rounds struck the 
subject -- one struck the victim. 
Earlier, Nassau County police identified Smith, a career criminal who
 was identified by his fingerprints. Smith's criminal record dates back 
14 years.
Police had issued a warrant for Smith's arrest in April after 
he violated parole. His criminal record includes armed robbery and 
automobile theft convictions, records show.
Police said Smith, wearing a black ski mask, knocked on the door and 
then forced his way into the home on California Avenue after 2:00 a.m. 
Once inside, he demanded money from the four residents -- one man and 
three women. Police said Smith had one of the woman go to an ATM to get 
more money. The victim called 911 once she was outside. 
Police arrived to the scene minutes later and got into a shootout 
with Smith. Officials say Smith used the victim as a human shield.
&quot;The male black, who is the subject in this case - Mr. Smith, has our
 victim, Andrea, still in a headlock when he realizes there's a police 
officer behind the wall in the hallway,&quot; said Azzata.
&quot;He now moves her even closer to the front of his body. He's backing 
out towards the back door and he's still got the gun to her head - 
eventually menaces our police officer, points his gun at the officer and
 at that point - fires several rounds.&quot;  
Rebello's twin sister, Jessica, was among the women inside the home 
at the time of the shooting -- she was not harmed, officials said.
Fox 5 News reported that several sorority sisters lived in the home.


Rebello's funeral will be held this week in Sleepy Hollow, N.Y. Her 
high school yearbook quote read..l&quot;&quot;ove the life you live, live the life
 you love.

      <title>President Putin Backs Syria's New &lt;span class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;Front&lt;/span&gt; to Liberate Golan, CIA Chief Makes Emergency Visit to Israel</title>
      <pubDate>Fri, 17 May 2013 06:19:53 -0400</pubDate>

      <description>Events of the Last 48 hours:
-  Russia's Pacific Fleet  Enters The Mediterranean For First Time Since The Cold War. 
-CIA chief John Brennan met Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon in an emergency unplanned meeting.
- USS Kearsarge,  carrying 1,800 marines and a consignment of 20 V-22 Osprey helicopters, docks at the Israel's red sea port of Eilat.
-Rocket and mortar attack from Syria on Israeli positions in the Golan.
-Transfer of game changing weapons to Hezbollah from Syria.
-Eminent defeat of Israeli and NATO backed terrorists in Homs
-Buk, Pantsir and S-300 systems are now fully operational and online in Syria.
- Israel tries to bribe and appease China by lending them their new US delivered F35 jet fighters 
 
On Tuesday, President Bashar Assad was quoted as saying the Golan will be the &quot;front 
line of resistance&quot; after giving radical Palestinians under his wing 
permission to install missiles there against Israel. Unidentified Syria 
military sources vowed to attack the Israeli army vehicles crossing the 
line to evacuate wounded terrorists in need of medical care. 

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Netanyahu ended 
their three-hour meeting in Sochi Tuesday, May 14, at loggerheads on 
Syria. In fact, Putin warned his guest that Israel and its army, the 
IDF, were heading for war with Syria in which Russia might well be 
involved - and not just through the advanced S-300 anti-air missiles 
supplied to the Assad government. The case Netanyahu and Military 
Intelligence chief Maj. Gen. Aviv Kochavi put before Putin and Russian 
foreign intelligence chief, SVR Director Mikhail Fradkov, fell on deaf 
ears.

The Israeli prime minister countered with a warning that Israel would
 continue to strike advanced weapons in Syria that were destined for 
Hizballah. And if President Bashar Assad hit back for Israel's May 5 
bombardment of weapons stores on Mount Qassioun near Damascus, Israel 
would intensify its bombardments of Syrian military targets and weapons 
until Assad was left to fight off rebel assaults empty-handed.

Putin rejected this threat as implausible.

Neither Putin nor Netanyahu put all their cards on the table, but the 
conversation ended with the Russian leader fully confident that his 
capabilities for safeguarding Assad were greater than Israel's ability 
to destroy him.

In the end, Netanyahu and his party arrived home Tuesday evening with
 a bad feeling. They were certain that Moscow had given Assad the green 
light to go through with his threat to make the Syrian Golan and the 
Horan of southern Syria &quot;a front for resistance&quot; - i.e. the platforms 
for embarking on a war of attrition against northern Israel with the 
help of a flow of advanced weapons to Hizballah.

The Syrian ruler is strongly encouraged to adopt this path by Tehran. 
Hizballah's leader Hassan Nasrallah has embraced it. And the radical 
Palestinian leader, Ahmed Jibril, head of the Assad-satellite Popular 
Front-General Command, has eagerly offered his services.And indeed, Wednesday, the day after Netanyahu's trip to Sochi, 

Jibril's group let loose with mortar fire on the Israeli Mt. Hermon ski 
site, firing from a Syrian army position.

Israeli military sources confirmed later that these were no stray 
shells from a Syrian-army-rebel battle as in former cases, but a 
deliberate attack. In Jerusalem, it was taken as a direct consequence of
 Moscow's account to Assad of the conversation between the Russian and 
Israeli leaders. They concluded that Assad took it for granted that he 
was now at liberty to go on the offensive against Israel.

Wednesday night, Netanyahu's office reacted to this deterioration with a swift and strong warning.

Israeli media were informed bluntly that if the Assad chose to retaliate
 for Israel's air strikes, he would be removed from power.

That same night, &quot;a senior Israeli official&quot; contacted  The New York Times  with
 a more detailed warning quoted by the paper: &quot;If Syrian President Assad
 reacts by attacking Israel, or tries to strike Israel through his 
terrorist proxies, he will risk forfeiting his regime, for Israel will 
retaliate.&quot;

Within hours, early Thursday morning, May 16, Jerusalem had its answer from Damascus.

 A Palestinian group calling itself &quot;Martyrs of the Abdel Qader 
al-Husseini Brigades&quot; (named for the commander of a Palestinian force 
fighting Israel in its 1948 War of Independence) claimed responsibility 
for the &quot;rockets&quot; aimed at an Israeli military observation post in the 
Golan Heights. They were fired in honor of Nakba Day, said the statement
 released in Damascus &quot;We are not celebrating but avenging the blood of 
our martyrs.&quot;

 A video showing the launch was appended .

Palestinian terrorist groups habitually use made-up names when claiming 
attacks, a practice often followed by al Qaeda, but this one was easily 
identified by Israel and taken to mean that Assad had begun using what 
the Israeli official referred to in  The New York Times  as &quot;his terrorist proxies.&quot;

Depending on the next move decided on by Prime Minister Netanyahu, 
Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon and Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz, 
this incident could mark the tipping-point of a slide towards a war 
confrontation against Israel by Syria, Hizballah and other Assad 
proxies.
