VIA THE JERUSALEM POST:
Iran is in the midst of an effort to arm Hezbollah and Hamas, and Israel will not tolerate the transfer of advanced weaponry to its enemies, Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon said on Sunday, a day after a report by Al Jazeera said the Israel Air Force struck Assad regime military bases housing long-range missiles in Syria.
Addressing an audience that had gathered to mark Israel’s 67th Independence Day at the Defense Ministry in Tel Aviv, Ya’alon said that “Iran is continuing to try and arm Hezbollah, including during these current days, and it is aspiring to equip the Lebanese terrorist organization with advanced and precise weapons.”
Ya’alon said that Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps personnel and Hezbollah are seeking to smuggle weapons “in every way and through every route, while being aware of the red lines set by the state of Israel, and that Israel has no intention of compromising over them. We will not allow the transfer of quality weapons to terror organizations, chief among them Hezbollah, and we will know how to reach those who send them [the weapons] at any time and place. We will not allow Iran and Hezbollah to set up terrorist infrastructure on our border with Syria, and we will know how to place our hands on anyone who threatens Israeli civilians, along the borders, or far from them.”
