Here’s a shock: Iran is supplying weapons to Syria, which in turn supplies them to Hezbullah. And Iraq, of course.

Turkey appears to have foiled an attempt to smuggle weapons from Iran into Syria, the Lebanese newspaper A-Nahar reported Wednesday.

The report said that security forces in Turkey’s southern Diyarbakir province busted open one of the cars of a train traveling from Iran to Syria, and found rockets and American-made rifles.

Say, isn’t there a UN resolution forbidding weapon transfers to Syria or something like that?

America trains Palestinian terrorists: We’ve been pointing this out for years, and yet, the U.S. continues to pour money and training down the terrorist toilet that is Fatah, even after Israel gives proof after proof that the training, and the American weapons, are being used to murder Israelis. And, in some cases, Americans.

According to Israeli and Palestinian security sources, Shawish, as a member of Force 17, received US training in 1997 at an American managed military base in the West Bank city of Jericho. The base continues to train Force 17 members. Multiple other Brigades members who also double as Force 17 officers previously received US training.

[…] Shawish doubled as the Ramallah chief of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terror group. He previously boasted of involvement in a West Bank shooting attack in December 2000 that killed Israeli ultranationalist leader Benjamin Kahane and Kahane’s wife, Talya.

Way to go, CIA! Another notch on your belt for the murderers of the world.

Well, that’s a no-brainer: A Palestinian collaborator says the only way to stop the kassams is the use of overwhelming force.

Qadia said that the short breaks are not a real solution for the anxiety brought on by the Qassams. “It’s only getting worse and with no end in sight, unfortunately I see no real leadership here, it’s every man for himself. Nothing else will work, we just need to go into Gaza, full force, and pound them, erase them completely, until it’s over. That’s the only language they understand and believe me – I know what I’m talking about. After all, I lived with them.”

Speaking of kassams: Yeah, they’re still falling. Another apartment hit, but luckily no serious damage to the residents.

Yeah, we knew that, too: Hezbullah has been completely re-armed, thanks to Syria and Iran.

Transportation Minister and former defense minister Shaul Mofaz said Wednesday that the Hizbullah has returned to its combat strength prior to the Second Lebanon War, Israel Radio reported.

Speaking at the local government summit at Tel Aviv University, Mofaz warned not to be fooled by the lack of Hizbullah outposts in southern Lebanon since he claims the group has bunkers underground near the the border with Israel.

Wonderful. Coupled with the news that Iran is revving up its activities in Europe, this is going to be a very, very hot summer.
